The Gift Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHGIJKLKM| I want to give you something my child for we are drifting in the | A |
| stream of the world | B |
| Our lives will be carried apart and our love forgotten | C |
| But I am not so foolish as to hope that I could buy your heart | D |
| with my gifts | E |
| Young is your life your path long and you drink the love we | F |
| bring you at one draught and turn and run away from us | G |
| You have your play and your playmates What harm is there if | H |
| you have no time or thought for us | G |
| We indeed have leisure enough in old age to count the days | I |
| that are past to cherish in our hearts what our hands have lost | J |
| for ever | K |
| The river runs swift with a song breaking through all | L |
| barriers But the mountain stays and remembers and follows her | K |
| with his love | M |
