Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKELMNOPBQR SOOTUVWXYLZDEA2DB2C2 TA| Let the boy have his will I tell thee brother | A |
| We treat these little ones too much like flowers | B |
| Training them in blind selfishness to deck | C |
| Sticks of our poor setting when they might | D |
| If left to clamber where themselves incline | E |
| Find nobler props to cling to fitter place | F |
| And sweeter air to bloom in It is wrong | G |
| Thou striv'st to sow with feelings all thine own | H |
| With thoughts and hopes anxieties and aims | I |
| Born of thine own peculiar self and fed | J |
| Upon a certain round of circumstance | K |
| A soul as different and distinct from thine | E |
| As love of goodness is from love of glory | L |
| Or noble poesy from noble prose | M |
| I could forgive thee if thou wast of them | N |
| Who do their fated parts in this world's business | O |
| Scarce knowing how or why for common minds | P |
| See not the difference 'twixt themselves and others | B |
| But thou thou with the visions which thy youth did cherish | Q |
| Substantialized upon thy regal brow | R |
| Shouldst boast a deeper insight We are born | S |
| It is my faith in miniature completeness | O |
| And like each other only in our weakness | O |
| Even with our mother's milk upon our lips | T |
| Our smiles have different meanings and our hands | U |
| Press with degrees of softness to her bosom | V |
| It is not change whatever in the heart | W |
| That wears its semblance we in looking back | X |
| With gratulation or regret perceive | Y |
| It is not change we undergo but only | L |
| Growth or development Yes what is childhood | Z |
| But after all a sort of golden daylight | D |
| A beautiful and blessed wealth of sunshine | E |
| Wherein the powers and passions of the soul | A2 |
| Sleep starlike but existent till the night | D |
| Of gathering years shall call the slumbers forth | B2 |
| And they rise up in glory Early grief | C2 |
| A shadow like the darkness of eclipse | T |
| Hath sometimes waked them sooner | A |
