Playmates Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEAFAGACH| It's sixty years ago the people say | A |
| Two village children neighbours born and bred | B |
| One morning played beneath a rotten tree | C |
| That came down crash and caught them as they fled | B |
| And one was killed and one was left unhurt | D |
| Except for certain fancies in his head | B |
| And though it's all so very long ago | E |
| He's never left the wood a single day | A |
| I've often met him peeping through the leaves | F |
| And chuckling to himself an old man grey | A |
| And once he started in his cracked old voice | G |
| 'We're playing I'm a merchant lost his way | A |
| She's robbers in the wood behind yon tree | C |
| The minute we grow up too big to play' | H |
