Baby's Age Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGHHIIJJKK| She came with April blooms and showers | A |
| We count her little life by flowers | A |
| As buds the rose upon her cheek | B |
| We choose a flower for every week | B |
| A week of hyacinths we say | C |
| And one of heart's ease ushered May | C |
| And then because two wishes met | D |
| Upon the rose and violet | E |
| I liked the Beauty Kate the Nun | F |
| The violet and the rose count one | F |
| A week the apple marked with white | G |
| A week the lily scored in light | G |
| Red poppies closed May's happy moon | H |
| And tulips this blue week in June | H |
| Here end as yet the flowery links | I |
| To day begins the week of pinks | I |
| But soon so grave and deep and wise | J |
| The meaning grows in Baby's eyes | J |
| So VERY deep for Baby's age | K |
| We think to date a week with sage | K |
