My Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HAHA| God made my mother on an April day | A |
| From sorrow and the mist along the sea | B |
| Lost birds' and wanderers' songs and ocean spray | A |
| And the moon loved her wandering jealously | B |
| - | |
| Beside the ocean's din she combed her hair | C |
| Singing the nocturne of the passing ships | D |
| Before her earthly lover found her there | C |
| And kissed away the music from her lips | D |
| - | |
| She came unto the hills and saw the change | E |
| That brings the swallow and the geese in turns | F |
| But there was not a grief she deem d strange | E |
| For there is that in her which always mourns | G |
| - | |
| Kind heart she has for all on hill or wave | H |
| Whose hopes grew wings like ants to fly away | A |
| I bless the God Who such a mother gave | H |
| This poor bird hearted singer of a day | A |
