The Mother's Kiss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHGII| Love 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 |
