To My Mother In Canada, From Sick-bed In Italy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCB DEDEFFE GHGHIIH| Dear mother from the sure sun and warm seas | A |
| Of Italy I sick remember now | B |
| What sometimes is forgot in times of ease | A |
| Our love the always felt but unspoken vow | B |
| So send I beckoning hands from here to there | C |
| And kiss your black once now white thin grown hair | C |
| And your stooped small shoulder and pinched brow | B |
| - | |
| Here mother there is sunshine every day | D |
| It warms the bones and breathes upon the heart | E |
| But you I see out plod a little way | D |
| Bitten with cold your cheeks and fingers smart | E |
| Would you were here we might in temples lie | F |
| And look from azure into azure sky | F |
| And paradise achieve slipping death's part | E |
| - | |
| But now 'tis time for sleep I think no speech | G |
| There needs to pass between us what we mean | H |
| For we soul venturing mingle each with each | G |
| So mother pass across the world unseen | H |
| And share in me some wished for dream in you | I |
| For so brings destiny her pledges true | I |
| The mother withered in the son grown green | H |
