Come Home, Come Home! And Where Is Home For Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEECC EEDDCC BBFFGC AAEECC| Come home come home and where is home for me | A |
| Whose ship is driving o'er the trackless sea | A |
| To the frail bark here plunging on its way | B |
| To the wild waters shall I turn and say | B |
| To the plunging bark or to the salt sea foam | C |
| You are my home | C |
| - | |
| Fields once I walked in faces once I knew | D |
| Familiar things so old my heart believed them true | D |
| These far far back behind me lie before | E |
| The dark clouds mutter and the deep seas roar | E |
| And speak to them that 'neath and o'er them roam | C |
| No words of home | C |
| - | |
| Beyond the clouds beyond the waves that roar | E |
| There may indeed or may not be a shore | E |
| Where fields as green and hands and hearts as true | D |
| The old forgotten semblance may renew | D |
| And offer exiles driven far o'er the salt sea foam | C |
| Another home | C |
| - | |
| But toil and pain must wear out many a day | B |
| And days bear weeks and weeks bear months away | B |
| Ere if at all the weary traveller hear | F |
| With accents whispered in his wayworn ear | F |
| A voice he dares to listen to say Come | G |
| To thy true home | C |
| - | |
| Come home come home and where a home hath he | A |
| Whose ship is driving o'er the driving sea | A |
| Through clouds that mutter and o'er waves that roar | E |
| Say shall we find or shall we not a shore | E |
| That is as is not ship or ocean foam | C |
| Indeed our home | C |
