"Another Poem" is arranged as four quatrains divided by a couplet.  The rhythm has a gentle lilt to it, not unlike that of a lullaby.  Many words in the poem begin with the letter "s," resulting in many a soft susurrus throughout the poem.  The theme is sentimental, but, speaking as the father of a little girl, entirely appropriate.
