A Botticelli Madonna Ii The Mournful Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| O child of mine my little Son alas | A |
| Beneath the sunlight of Thy gentle eyes | B |
| Too soon too soon what fateful shadows rise | B |
| Like night foretold in some sweet woodland glass | A |
| On tender feet that scarcely bow the grass | A |
| What stains are those of ripe pomegranate dyes | B |
| When on my breast Thy head in slumber lies | B |
| What thorns are those that through my heart do pass | A |
| And round about these crowds of haunting forms | C |
| That burn their splendor through my dimmest dreams | D |
| O little Child Thou Wonder too divine | E |
| Thy precious body all my bosom warms | C |
| With mine own blood but oftentimes it seems | D |
| Too dearly loved that yet Thou art not mine | E |
