A Poet To His Grandchild - Sequel To The Foregoing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADDEFGESon 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
