Inevitable Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI JCJC| To day I was so weary and I lay | A |
| In that delicious state of semi waking | B |
| When baby sitting with his nurse at play | A |
| Cried loud for mamma all his toys forsaking | B |
| - | |
| I was so weary and I needed rest | C |
| And signed to nurse to bear him from the room | D |
| Then sudden rose and caught him to my breast | C |
| And kissed the grieving mouth and cheeks of bloom | D |
| - | |
| For swift as lightning came the thought to me | E |
| With pulsing heart throes and a mist of tears | F |
| Of days inevitable that are to be | E |
| If my fair darling grows to manhood's years | G |
| - | |
| Days when he will not call for mamma when | H |
| The world with many a pleasure and bright joy | I |
| Shall tempt him forth into the haunts of men | H |
| And I shall lose the first place with my boy | I |
| - | |
| When other homes and loves shall give delight | J |
| When younger smiles and voices will seem best | C |
| And so I held him to my heart to night | J |
| Forgetting all my need of peace and rest | C |
