A Mother's Jewels Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI| The daughter of a hundred earls | A |
| No jewels has with mine to mate | B |
| Though she may wear in flawless pearls | A |
| The ransom of a mighty state | B |
| - | |
| Hers glitter for the world to see | C |
| But chill the breast where they recline | D |
| My jewels warmly compass me | C |
| And all their brilliancy is mine | D |
| - | |
| My diamonds are my baby's eyes | E |
| His lips sole rubies that I crave | F |
| They came to me from Paradise | G |
| And not through labors of the slave | F |
| - | |
| My darling's arms my necklace make | H |
| 'Tis Love that links his feeble hands | I |
| And Death alone that chain can break | H |
| And rob me of those priceless bands | I |
