Little Hero Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEE FFGG HIEE JJKK LLMM DDEE GGGG NNOO

'Mong silver hills of NevadaA
There is many a wild bravadoB
Who oft indulge in lawless viceC
And there are pearls of great priceC
-
Rough hearts but true at the coreD
There is the genuine silver oreD
But it needs skill of the refinerE
To find pure gems in the minerE
-
Far from their home two children strayF
Among the mountains far awayF
The eldest of these travellers boldG
Jack Smith he was but six years oldG
-
So far poor children went abroadH
That both at last they lost their roadI
But their good dog the trusty RoverE
By scent and search doth them discoverE
-
Their friends they search for them in vainJ
Dark night comes on and heavy rainJ
And savage wolves around them howlK
But they fear Rover's bark and growlK
-
On the third day the searchers harkL
For sounds and they hear Rover's barkL
Joyous that boys were aliveM
And that though feeble they surviveM
-
Miners they left their silver oreD
And for more precious pearls exploreD
And when the children they discoverE
'Tis unbounded then their pleasureE
-
The eldest little hero boldG
Had stripped his coat to keep the coldG
From little brother three years oldG
A worthy deed should be extolledG
-
From home they were many a leagueN
And weak with hunger and fatigueN
Each clung upon a miner's backO
On their way home down mountain trackO
