Being His Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBDCBD| Being his mother when he goes away | A |
| I would not hold him overlong and so | B |
| Sometimes my yielding sight of him grows O | B |
| So quick of tears I joy he did not stay | A |
| To catch the faintest rumor of them Nay | A |
| Leave always his eyes clear and glad although | B |
| Mine own dear Lord do fill to overflow | B |
| Let his remembered features as I pray | A |
| Smile ever on me Ah what stress of love | C |
| Thou givest me to guard with Thee thiswise | B |
| Its fullest speech ever to be denied | D |
| Mine own being his mother All thereof | C |
| Thou knowest only looking from the skies | B |
| As when not Christ alone was crucified | D |
