The Land Of Story-books Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH IIJJ KKGG| At evening when the lamp is lit | A |
| Around the fire my parents sit | A |
| They sit at home and talk and sing | B |
| And do not play at anything | B |
| - | |
| Now with my little gun I crawl | C |
| All in the dark along the wall | C |
| And follow round the forest track | D |
| Away behind the sofa back | D |
| - | |
| There in the night where none can spy | E |
| All in my hunter's camp I lie | E |
| And play at books that I have read | F |
| Till it is time to go to bed | F |
| - | |
| These are the hills these are the woods | G |
| These are my starry solitudes | G |
| And there the river by whose brink | H |
| The roaring lions come to drink | H |
| - | |
| I see the others far away | I |
| As if in firelit camp they lay | I |
| And I like to an Indian scout | J |
| Around their party prowled about | J |
| - | |
| So when my nurse comes in for me | K |
| Home I return across the sea | K |
| And go to bed with backward looks | G |
| At my dear Land of Story books | G |
