A Child's Garden Of Verses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFFGG CHIIJJFor the long nights you lay awake | A |
And watched for my unworthy sake | A |
For your most comfortable hand | B |
That led me through the uneven land | B |
For all the story books you read | C |
For all the pains you comforted | D |
- | |
For all you pitied all you bore | E |
In sad and happy days of yore | E |
My second Mother my first Wife | F |
The angel of my infant life | F |
From the sick child now well and old | G |
Take nurse the little book you hold | G |
- | |
And grant it Heaven that all who read | C |
May find as dear a nurse at need | H |
And every child who lists my rhyme | I |
In the bright fireside nursery clime | I |
May hear it in as kind a voice | J |
As made my childish days rejoice | J |
