Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCCDDC EFFEEFFE| Sometimes she seems so helpless and mild | A |
| So full of sweet unreason and so weak | B |
| So prone to some capricious whim or freak | B |
| Now gay now tearful and now anger wild | A |
| By her strange moods of waywardness beguiled | A |
| And entertained I stroke her pretty cheek | B |
| And soothing words of peace and comfort speak | B |
| And love her as a father loves a child | A |
| - | |
| Sometimes when I am troubled and sore pressed | C |
| On every side by fast advancing care | D |
| She rises up with such majestic air | D |
| I deem her some Olympian goddess guest | C |
| Who brings my heart new courage hope and rest | C |
| In her brave eyes dwells balm for my despair | D |
| And then I seem while fondly gazing there | D |
| A loving child upon my mothers breast | C |
| - | |
| Again when her warm veins are full of life | E |
| And youth s volcanic tidal wave of fire | F |
| Sends the swift mercury of her pulses higher | F |
| Her beauty stirs my heart to maddening strife | E |
| And all the tiger in my blood is rife | E |
| I love her with a lover s fierce desire | F |
| And find in her my dream complete entire | F |
| Child Mother Mistress all in one word Wife | E |
