The Little London Girl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDAA EFGG GGBB HHIJ| In my little Green House quite content am I | A |
| When the hot sun pours down from the sky | A |
| For oh I love the country the beautiful country | B |
| Who'd live in a London street when there's the country | B |
| - | |
| I live in a London street then I long and long | C |
| To be the whole day the sweet Flowers among | D |
| Instead of tall chimney pots up in the sky | A |
| The joy of seeing Birds and Dragon Flies go by | A |
| - | |
| At home I lie in bed and cannot go to sleep | E |
| For the sound of cart wheels upon the hard street | F |
| But here my eyes close up to no sound of anything | G |
| Except it is to hear the nightingales sing | G |
| - | |
| And then I see the Chickens and the Geese go walking | G |
| I hear the Pigs and the Ducks all talking | G |
| And the Red and the Spotted Cows they stare at me | B |
| As if they wondered whoever I could be | B |
| - | |
| I see the little Lambs out with their mothers | H |
| Such pretty little white young sisters and brothers | H |
| Oh I'll stay in the country and make a daisy chain | I |
| And never go back to London again | J |
