Mother's Way Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIDI CJKJCIDI CLCLAICI FIMICI| Oft within our little cottage | A |
| As the shadows gently fall | B |
| While the sunlight touches softly | C |
| One sweet face upon the wall | B |
| Do we gather close together | D |
| And in hushed and tender tone | E |
| Ask each other's full forgiveness | F |
| For the wrong that each has done | G |
| Should you wonder why this custom | H |
| At the ending of the day | I |
| Eye and voice would quickly answer | D |
| It was once our mother's way | I |
| - | |
| If our home be bright and cheery | C |
| If it holds a welcome true | J |
| Opening wide its door of greeting | K |
| To the many not the few | J |
| If we share our father's bounty | C |
| With the needy day by day | I |
| 'Tis because our hearts remember | D |
| This was ever mother's way | I |
| - | |
| Sometimes when our hands grow weary | C |
| Or our tasks seem very long | L |
| When our burdens look too heavy | C |
| And we deem the right all wrong | L |
| Then we gain a new fresh courage | A |
| And we rise to proudly say | I |
| Let us do our duty bravely | C |
| This was our dear mother's way | I |
| - | |
| Then we keep her memory precious | F |
| While we never cease to pray | I |
| That at last when lengthening shadows | M |
| Mark the evening of our day | I |
| They may find us waiting calmly | C |
| To go home our mother's way | I |
