A Child In The Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA ACACDD| When to the garden of untroubled thought | A |
| I came of late and saw the open door | B |
| And wished again to enter and explore | B |
| The sweet wild ways with stainless bloom inwrought | A |
| And bowers of innocence with beauty fraught | A |
| It seemed some purer voice must speak before | B |
| I dared to tread that garden loved of yore | B |
| That Eden lost unknown and found unsought | A |
| - | |
| Then just within the gate I saw a child | A |
| A stranger child yet to my heart most dear | C |
| He held his hands to me and softly smiled | A |
| With eyes that knew no shade of sin or fear | C |
| Come in he said and play awhile with me | D |
| I am the little child you used to be | D |
