To My Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDBBC EBFEBG| Most near most dear most loved and most far | A |
| Under the window where I often found her | B |
| Sitting as huge as Asia seismic with laughter | B |
| Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand | C |
| Irresistible as Rabelais but most tender for | D |
| The lame dogs and hurt birds that surround her | B |
| She is a procession no one can follow after | B |
| But be like a little dog following a brass band | C |
| - | |
| She will not glance up at the bomber or condescend | E |
| To drop her gin and scuttle to a cellar | B |
| But lean on the mahogany table like a mountain | F |
| Whom only faith can move and so I send | E |
| O all my faith and all my love to tell her | B |
| That she will move from mourning into morning | G |
