The Nurse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEE FFGG DDHI JJBA KKLL MMNN OPOO QQRS

Such innocent companionshipA
Is hers whether she wake or sleepB
'Tis scarcely strange her face should wearC
The young child's grave and innocent airC
-
All the night long she hath by herD
The quiet breathing the soft stirD
Nor knows how in that tender placeE
The children's angels veil the faceE
-
She wakes at dawn with bird and childF
To earth new washed and reconciledF
The hour of silence and of dewG
When God hath made His world anewG
-
She sleeps at eve about the hourD
Of bedtime for the bird and flowerD
When daisies evening primrosesH
Know that the hour of closing isI
-
Her daylight thoughts are all on toysJ
And games for darling girls and boysJ
Lest they should fret lest they should weepB
Strayed from their heavenly fellowshipA
-
She is as pretty and as brownK
As the wood's children far from townK
As bright eyed glancing shy of menL
As any squirrel any wrenL
-
Tender she is to beast and birdM
As in her breast some memory stirredM
Of days when those were kin of hersN
Who go in feathers and in fursN
-
A child yet is the children's lawO
And rules by love and rules by aweP
And stern at times is kind withalO
As a girl baby with her dollO
-
Outside the nursery door there liesQ
The world with all its griefs and sighsQ
Its needs its sins its stains of senseR
Within is only innocenceS
