A Visit From Young Gloom Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKGK LMNM

There's been a young stranger at our houseA
A baby whom nobody knewB
Who hated his brother his father his motherC
And made them aware of it tooB
-
He stayed with us nearly a fortnightD
And carried a grouch all the whileE
Nor promise nor present could make him look pleasantF
He hadn't the power to smileE
-
He cried when he couldn't have somethingG
He cried just as hard when he couldH
Kind words by the earful but made him more tearfulI
And scoldings did just as much goodH
-
He stormed when his meals weren't readyJ
And when they were ready he screamedK
He went to bed growling got up again howlingG
And quarreled and snarled as he dreamedK
-
He's gone and the child we are fond ofL
Is back just as nice as of oldM
But I hope to be in some port EuropeanN
The next time he has a bad coldM
