A Poet To His Grandchild - Sequel To The Foregoing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADDEFGE| Son of my buried Son while thus thy hand | A |
| Is clasping mine it saddens me to think | B |
| How Want may press thee down and with thee sink | B |
| Thy children left unfit through vain demand | A |
| Of culture even to feel or understand | A |
| My simplest Lay that to their memory | C |
| May cling hard fate which haply need not be | C |
| Did Justice mould the statutes of the Land | A |
| A Book time cherished and an honoured name | D |
| Are high rewards but bound they Nature's claim | D |
| Or Reason's No hopes spun in timid line | E |
| From out the bosom of a modest home | F |
| Extend through unambitious years to come | G |
| My careless Little one for thee and thine | E |
William Wordsworth
