Our Mothers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEFGEDOur Mothers lovely women pitiful | A |
Our Sisters gracious in their life and death | B |
To us each unforgotten memory saith | B |
Learn as we learned in life's sufficient school | C |
Work as we worked in patience of our rule | C |
Walk as we walked much less by sight than faith | B |
Hope as we hoped despite our slips and scathe | B |
Fearful in joy and confident in dule | C |
I know not if they see us or can see | D |
But if they see us in our painful day | E |
How looking back to earth from Paradise | F |
Do tears not gather in those loving eyes | G |
Ah happy eyes whose tears are wiped away | E |
Whether or not you bear to look on me | D |
