Down To The Mothers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEDFGGEHBIJ ALinger no more my beloved by abbey and cell and cathedral | A |
Mourn not for holy ones mourning of old them who knew not the Father | B |
Weeping with fast and scourge when the bridegroom was taken from them | C |
Drop back awhile through the years to the warm rich youth of the nations | D |
Childlike in virtue and faith though childlike in passion and pleasure | B |
Childlike still and still near to their God while the day spring of Eden | E |
Lingered in rose red rays on the peaks of Ionian mountains | D |
Down to the mothers as Faust went I go to the roots of our manhood | F |
Mothers of us in our cradles of us once more in our glory | G |
New born body and soul in the great pure world which shall be | G |
In the renewing of all things when man shall return to his Eden | E |
Conquering evil and death and shame and the slander of conscience | H |
Free in the sunshine of Godhead and fearlessly smile on his Father | B |
Down to the mothers I go yet with thee still be with me thou purest | I |
Lead me thy hand in my hand and the dayspring of God go before us | J |
