The Ancient Of Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHIIGI| A child sits in a sunny place | A |
| Too happy for a smile | B |
| And plays through one long holiday | C |
| With balls to roll and pile | B |
| A painted wind mill by his side | D |
| Runs like a merry tune | E |
| But the sails are the four great winds of heaven | F |
| And the balls are the sun and moon | E |
| - | |
| A staring doll's house shows to him | G |
| Green floors and starry rafter | H |
| And many coloured graven dolls | I |
| Live for his lonely laughter | H |
| The dolls have crowns and aureoles | I |
| Helmets and horns and wings | I |
| For they are the saints and seraphim | G |
| The prophets and the kings | I |
