The Dolls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABACDEDAFABGHGHIJKB| A doll in the doll maker's house | A |
| Looks at the cradle and bawls | A |
| 'That is an insult to us ' | B |
| But the oldest of all the dolls | A |
| Who had seen being kept for show | C |
| Generations of his sort | D |
| Out screams the whole shelf 'Although | E |
| There's not a man can report | D |
| Evil of this place | A |
| The man and the woman bring | F |
| Hither to our disgrace | A |
| A noisy and filthy thing ' | B |
| Hearing him groan and stretch | G |
| The doll maker's wife is aware | H |
| Her husband has heard the wretch | G |
| And crouched by the arm of his chair | H |
| She murmurs into his ear | I |
| Head upon shoulder leant | J |
| 'My dear my dear O dear | K |
| It was an accident ' | B |
