My Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH IIJJ KKLLJJJJJJ| This is the place that I love the best | A |
| A little brown house like a ground bird's nest | A |
| Hid among grasses and vines and trees | B |
| Summer retreat of the birds and bees | B |
| - | |
| The tenderest light that ever was seen | C |
| Sifts through the vine made window screen | C |
| Sifts and quivers and flits and falls | D |
| On home made carpets and gray hung walls | D |
| - | |
| All through June the west wind free | E |
| The breath of the clover brings to me | E |
| All through the languid July day | F |
| I catch the scent of the new mown hay | F |
| - | |
| The morning glories and scarlet vine | G |
| Over the doorway twist and twine | G |
| And every day when the house is still | H |
| The humming bird comes to the window sill | H |
| - | |
| In the cunningest chamber under the sun | I |
| I sink to sleep when the day is done | I |
| And am waked at morn in my snow white bed | J |
| By a singing bird on the roof o'erhead | J |
| - | |
| Better than treasures brought from Rome | K |
| Are the living pictures I see at home | K |
| My aged father with frosted hair | L |
| And mother's face like a painting rare | L |
| Far from the city's dust and heat | J |
| I get but sounds and odours sweet | J |
| Who can wonder I love to stay | J |
| Week after week here hidden away | J |
| In this sly nook that I love the best | J |
| The little brown house like a ground bird's nest | J |
