Mary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEC FFGHIIJH BBKFLLBF MMLCFFBC| She was gentle she was true | A |
| And her tender eyes of blue | A |
| Seemed to mock the morning sunbeams | B |
| And the starlight of the night | C |
| And her laughter seemed to trill | D |
| Like the ripple of the rill | D |
| And there never was a trouble | E |
| That she didn't make all right | C |
| - | |
| What though rough had been my way | F |
| And the bitter hours of day | F |
| Had depressed my coward spirit | G |
| Till it only saw the gloom | H |
| She could lift me from the strife | I |
| And bring back the joy of life | I |
| For her smiling presence brightened | J |
| And made radiant the room | H |
| - | |
| Oh so simple were her ways | B |
| Oh so merry were the days | B |
| That we trod life's lane together | K |
| Hand in hand like children gay | F |
| But my troubles seem to be | L |
| Mountain high today to me | L |
| For there are no happy evenings | B |
| When we laugh them all away | F |
| - | |
| Now the sunbeams dance and smile | M |
| But I'm looking all the while | M |
| For the soft blue eyes of Mary | L |
| Who has passed beyond the night | C |
| But I bravely tread my way | F |
| For I know there'll come a day | F |
| When she'll laugh away my sorrows | B |
| And make all my burdens light | C |
