The Wrong Story Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH DDII| My little Edward how could you | A |
| Tell me a thing that was not true | A |
| And make me feel thus grieved and sad | B |
| To find I have a child so bad | B |
| - | |
| And then to do a deed so mean | C |
| And wish by that yourself to screen | C |
| Would you have had me blame poor Tray | D |
| And send him from the fire away | D |

| O never when you've disobeyed | E |
| Or by your mischief trouble made | E |
| Think that a wicked act is right | F |
| Because you hide it from my sight | F |

| It will be always seen by One | G |
| Who knows each wrong that you have done | G |
| And I shall know it too no doubt | H |
| For sin must always find you out | H |
| - | |
| I cannot let you here to day | D |
| With me and little sisters stay | D |
| But you must go up stairs alone | I |
| Till you a better boy have grown | I |
