The Poet And The Baby Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA CDEED FFGGF| How's a man to write a sonnet can you tell | A |
| How's he going to weave the dim poetic spell | A |
| When a toddling on the floor | B |
| Is the muse he must adore | B |
| And this muse he loves not wisely but too well | A |
| - | |
| Now to write a sonnet every one allows | C |
| One must always be as quiet as a mouse | D |
| But to write one seems to me | E |
| Quite superfluous to be | E |
| When you 've got a little sonnet in the house | D |
| - | |
| Just a dainty little poem true and fine | F |
| That is full of love and life in every line | F |
| Earnest delicate and sweet | G |
| Altogether so complete | G |
| That I wonder what's the use of writing mine | F |
