The Mother's Kiss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHGIILove breathed a secret to her listening heart | A |
And said Be silent Though she guarded it | B |
And dwelt as one within a world apart | A |
Yet sun and star seemed by that secret lit | B |
And where she passed each whispering wind ablow | C |
And every little blossom in the sod | D |
Called joyously to her We know we know | E |
For are we not the intimates of God | D |
Life grew so radiant and so opulent | F |
That when her fragile body and her brain | G |
By mortal throes of agony were rent | H |
She felt a curious rapture in her pain | G |
Then after anguish came the supreme bliss | I |
They brought the little baby for her kiss | I |
