a lamb’ which shows innocence and obedience when the child is compared to
a lamb; and ‘Where yesterday a rebel’ which shows disobedience and
defiance when the child is said to be a rebel (lines 11 and 12)
The poem consists of 5 stanzas with four lines and the rhyme scheme is ‘a, b,

is easy to understand as we can relate it to what a child does.
