A Song Of Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDD EEFFCGGHHBBCII JJFFCAA| I am singing a song to the boys to day | A |
| A song of the home that is far away | A |
| And I know that an echo the word is waking | B |
| In many a heart that is secretly aching | B |
| Yes almost breaking thinking of Home dear Home | C |
| But thought dear boys is a carrier dove | D |
| And it flies straight into the hearts you love | D |
| - | |
| You picture the days of your youthful joys | E |
| The old home circle the girls and boys | E |
| You knew in that wonderful world of pleasure | F |
| When life danced on to a lilting measure | F |
| Each scene you treasure thinking of Home dear Home | C |
| And here is a thought that is sweet and true | G |
| The ones you long for are longing for you | G |
| You picture the day when the war is done | H |
| The duty accomplished the victory won | H |
| And over the billows our ships go leaping | B |
| Into our beautiful harbour sweeping | B |
| And with laughter and weeping you go back Home Home Home | C |
| On the walls of your heart you must hang with care | I |
| This beautiful picture framed in prayer | I |
| - | |
| Thinking of Home you are blazing a trail | J |
| For that glorious day when our ships shall sail | J |
| Where the Goddess of Liberty lights the water | F |
| To guide you back from the fields of slaughter | F |
| Fair Freedom's daughter who welcomes us Home Home Home | C |
| So hold your vision and work and pray | A |
| As you dream of the Home that is far away | A |
