The Player Queen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDABEFFGHGAHIBJKLK| MY mother dandled me and sang | A |
| 'How young it is how young ' | B |
| And made a golden cradle | C |
| That on a willow swung | D |
| 'He went away ' my mother sang | A |
| 'When I was brought to bed ' | B |
| And all the while her needle pulled | E |
| The gold and silver thread | F |
| She pulled the thread and bit the thread | F |
| And made a golden gown | G |
| And wept because she had dreamt that I | H |
| Was born to wear a crown | G |
| 'When she was got ' my mother sang | A |
| I heard a sea mew cry | H |
| And saw a flake of the yellow foam | I |
| That dropped upon my thigh ' | B |
| How therefore could she help but braid | J |
| The gold into my hair | K |
| And dream that I should carry | L |
| The golden top of care | K |
