Our Little Girl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHFIGAJA FJFJKLM| Her heart knew naught of sorrow | A |
| Nor the vaguest taint of sin | B |
| 'Twas an ever blooming blossom | C |
| Of the purity within | B |
| And her hands knew only touches | D |
| Of the mother's gentle care | E |
| And the kisses and caresses | F |
| Through the interludes of prayer | E |
| - | |
| Her baby feet had journeyed | G |
| Such a little distance here | H |
| They could have found no briers | F |
| In the path to interfere | I |
| The little cross she carried | G |
| Could not weary her we know | A |
| For it lay as lightly on her | J |
| As a shadow on the snow | A |
| - | |
| And yet the way before us | F |
| O how empty now and drear | J |
| How ev'n the dews of roses | F |
| Seem as dripping tears for her | J |
| And the song birds all seem crying | K |
| As the winds cry and the rain | L |
| All sobbingly 'We want we want | M |
| Our little girl again ' | - |
