Round The World Goes. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD HAHACDCD| Round the world goes by day and night | A |
| While with it also round go we | B |
| And in the flight of one day's light | A |
| An image of all life's course we see | B |
| Round round while thus we go round | C |
| The best thing a man can do | D |
| Is to make it at least a merry go round | C |
| By sending the wine round too | D |
| - | |
| Our first gay stage of life is when | E |
| Youth in its dawn salutes the eye | F |
| Season of bliss Oh who wouldn't then | E |
| Wish to cry Stop to earth and sky | F |
| But round round both boy and girl | G |
| Are whisked thro' that sky of blue | D |
| And much would their hearts enjoy the whirl | G |
| If their heads didn't whirl round too | D |
| - | |
| Next we enjoy our glorious noon | H |
| Thinking all life a life of light | A |
| But shadows come on 'tis evening soon | H |
| And ere we can say How short 'tis night | A |
| Round round still all goes round | C |
| Even while I'm thus singing to you | D |
| And the best way to make it a merry go round | C |
| Is to chorus my song round too | D |
