Mother.'alpha And Omega Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDEE AFFGHDDEE AIIJKDDEE

Mother MotherA
The startled cry of childish frightB
Rang through the silence of the nightB
As but the mother's fond caressC
Could soothe its infantile distressC
And the mother answered with loving strokeD
Of her gentle hand as she softly spokeD
Hush hush my child that troubled cryE
What evil can harm thee with mother nighE
-
Mother MotherA
Long years have passed and the fevered browF
Of a bearded man she is stroking nowF
As through delirium and painG
He cries as a little child againH
And the mother answered with loving strokeD
Of her careworn hand as she softly spokeD
Hush hush my child that troubled cryE
What evil can harm thee with mother nighE
-
Mother MotherA
Still time rolls on and an old man standsI
Trembling on life's declining sandsI
As memory bridges the flood of yearsJ
He cries as a child with childish tearsK
And memory answers with loving strokeD
Of a vanished hand and an echo spokeD
Hush hush my child that troubled cryE
What evil can harm thee with mother nighE
