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 handA
Is clasping mine it saddens me to thinkB
How Want may press thee down and with thee sinkB
Thy children left unfit through vain demandA
Of culture even to feel or understandA
My simplest Lay that to their memoryC
May cling hard fate which haply need not beC
Did Justice mould the statutes of the LandA
A Book time cherished and an honoured nameD
Are high rewards but bound they Nature's claimD
Or Reason's No hopes spun in timid lineE
From out the bosom of a modest homeF
Extend through unambitious years to comeG
My careless Little one for thee and thineE

William Wordsworth
