The Game Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA BDBD| Watching a ball on the end of a string | A |
| Watching it swing back and to | B |
| Oh I do think it the pleasantest thing | A |
| Ever a Kitten can do | B |
| - | |
| First it goes this way then it goes that | C |
| Just like a bird on the wing | A |
| And all of a tremble I crouch on the mat | C |
| Like a Lion preparing to spring | A |
| - | |
| And now with a terrible deafening mew | B |
| Like a Tiger I leap on my prey | D |
| And just when I think I have torn it in two | B |
| It is up in the air and away | D |
