Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHIIJJFF KKFF| Late late last night when the whole world slept | A |
| Along to the garden of dreams I crept | A |
| And I pulled the bell of an old old house | B |
| Where the moon dipped down like a little white mouse | B |
| I tapped the door and I tossed my head | C |
| Are you in little girl Are you in I said | C |
| And while I waited and shook with cold | D |
| Through the door tripped me just eight years old | D |
| I looked so sweet with my pigtails down | E |
| Tied up with a ribbon of dusky brown | E |
| With a dimpled chin full of childish charme | F |
| And my old black dolly asleep in my arms | G |
| I sat me down when I saw myself | H |
| And I told little tales of a moonland elf | H |
| I laughed and sang as I used to do | I |
| When the world was ruled by Little Boy Blue | I |
| Then I danced with a toss and a twirl | J |
| And said Now have you been a good good girl | J |
| Have you had much spanking since you were Me | F |
| And does it feel fine to be twenty three | F |
| I kissed me then and I said farewell | K |
| For I've earned more spanks than I dared to tell | K |
| And Eight must never see Twenty three | F |
| As she peeps through the door of Memory | F |
