Mother And The Baby Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF GGHHIIJJ| Mother and the baby Oh I know no lovelier pair | A |
| For all the dreams of all the world are hovering 'round them there | A |
| And be the baby in his cot or nestling in her arms | B |
| The picture they present is one with never fading charms | B |
| Mother and the baby and the mother's eye aglow | C |
| With joys that only mothers see and only mothers know | C |
| And here is all there is to strife and all there is to fame | D |
| And all that men have struggled for since first a baby came | D |
| I never see this lovely pair nor hear the mother sing | E |
| The lullabies of babyhood but I start wondering | E |
| How much of every man to day the world thinks wise or brave | F |
| Is of the songs his mother sang and of the strength she gave | F |
| - | |
| 'Just like a mother ' Oh to be so tender and so true | G |
| No man has reached so high a plane with all he's dared to do | G |
| And yet I think she understands with every step she takes | H |
| And every care that she bestows it is the man she makes | H |
| Mother and the baby And in fancy I can see | I |
| Her life being given gladly to the man that is to be | I |
| And from her strength and sacrifice and from her lullabies | J |
| She dreams and hopes and nightly prays a strong man shall arise | J |
