To A Boy Whistling Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFGE HIJH| The smiling face of a happy boy | A |
| With its enchanted key | B |
| Is now unlocking in memory | B |
| My store of heartiest joy | A |
| - | |
| And my lost life again to day | C |
| In pleasant colors all aglow | D |
| From rainbow tints to pure white snow | D |
| Is a panorama sliding away | C |
| - | |
| The whistled air of a simple tune | E |
| Eddies and whirls my thoughts around | F |
| As fairy balloons of thistle down | G |
| Sail through the air of June | E |
| - | |
| O happy boy with untaught grace | H |
| What is there in the world to give | I |
| That can buy one hour of the life you live | J |
| Or the trivial cause of your smiling face | H |
