Playthings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDECFG| Child how happy you are sitting in the dust playing with a broken twig all the morning | A |
| I smile at your play with that little bit of a broken twig | B |
| I am busy with my accounts adding up figures by the hour | C |
| Perhaps you glance at me and think quot What a stupid game to spoil your morning with quot | D |
| Child I have forgotten the art of being absorbed in sticks and mud pies | E |
| I seek out costly playthings and gather lumps of gold and silver | C |
| With whatever you find you create your glad games I spend both my time and my strength over things I never can obtain | F |
| In my frail canoe I struggle to cross the sea of desire and forget that I too am playing a game | G |
