Child And Father Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDCDEFGFHIJIJKLKL| A LITTLE child one night awoke and cried | A |
| 'Oh help me father there is something wild | B |
| Before me help me ' Hurrying to his side | A |
| I answered 'I am here You dreamed my child ' | C |
| 'A dream ' he questioned 'Oh I could not see | D |
| It was so dark Take me into your bed ' | C |
| And I who loved him held him soothingly | D |
| And smiling on his terror comforted | E |
| He nestled in my arms I held him fast | F |
| And spoke to him and calmed his childish fears | G |
| Until he smiled again asleep at last | F |
| Upon his lashes still a trace of tears | H |
| How like a child the world who in this night | I |
| Of strife beholds strange monsters threatening | J |
| And with black fear having so little light | I |
| Cries to its Father God for comforting | J |
| And well for it if answering the call | K |
| The Father hear and soothe its dread asleep | L |
| How many though whom thoughts and dreams appall | K |
| Must lie awake and in the darkness weep | L |
