Happiness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGHIIH| Ever again to breathe pure happiness | A |
| So happy that we gave away our toy | B |
| We smiled at nothings needing no caress | C |
| Have we not laughed too often since with Joy | B |
| Have we not stolen too strange and sorrowful wrongs | D |
| For her hands' pardoning The sun may cleanse | E |
| And time and starlight Life will sing great songs | D |
| And gods will show us pleasures more than men's | E |
| - | |
| Yet heaven looks smaller than the old doll's home | F |
| No nestling place is left in bluebell bloom | G |
| And the wide arms of trees have lost their scope | H |
| The former happiness is unreturning | I |
| Boys' griefs are not so grievous as our yearning | I |
| Boys have no sadness sadder than our hope | H |
