A Long, Long Way Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD E FGFGHIHI E JKJKLMLM N OPOPQJRJ

It's a long long way to the country whereA
I wade and splash in the creekB
And a long long way to the Ferncreek FairA
The Fair where I was last weekB
It's a long long way to the end of the worldC
Where the sun blows out his beamsD
But the way is short in your warm bed curledC
To the old old Land of DreamsD

It's a long long way to go up stairsF
When you're down in the yard belowG
And a long long way where no boy caresF
To ever want to goG
It's a long long way to the world's far endH
Where the stars sit down with GodI
But the way is short so I comprehendH
To the wonderful Land of NodI

-
It's a long long way when you have to be dressedJ
When you'd very much rather playK
And a long long way let it be confessedJ
To leave where you'd rather stayK
It's a long long way to the end of the EarthL
Where the night rolls dark and deepM
But the way is short in your cozy berthL
To the far far Land of SleepM

It's a short short way when you go to schoolO
But a long long way back homeP
And my teacher says you can find a foolO
No matter where you roamP
It's a long long way so my father saysQ
Till some folks see a jestJ
But the longest way of all the waysR
Is the way to the Land of RestJ
