Escape At Bedtime Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EBEBFGFG| The lights from the parlour and kitchen shone out | A |
| Through the blinds and the windows and bars | B |
| And high overhead and all moving about | A |
| There were thousands of millions of stars | B |
| There ne'er were such thousands of leaves on a tree | C |
| Nor of people in church or the Park | D |
| As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me | C |
| And that glittered and winked in the dark | D |
| - | |
| The Dog and the Plough and the Hunter and all | E |
| And the star of the sailor and Mars | B |
| These shown in the sky and the pail by the wall | E |
| Would be half full of water and stars | B |
| They saw me at last and they chased me with cries | F |
| And they soon had me packed into bed | G |
| But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes | F |
| And the stars going round in my head | G |
