Lullaby Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBB CCBBB DDBBB| The maple strews the embers of its leaves | A |
| O'er the laggard swallows nestled 'neath the eaves | A |
| And the moody cricket falters in his cry Baby bye | B |
| And the lid of night is falling o'er the sky Baby bye | B |
| The lid of night is falling o'er the sky | B |
| - | |
| The rose is lying pallid and the cup | C |
| Of the frosted calla lily folded up | C |
| And the breezes through the garden sob and sigh Baby bye | B |
| O'er the sleeping blooms of summer where they lie Baby bye | B |
| O'er the sleeping blooms of summer where they lie | B |
| - | |
| Yet Baby O my Baby for your sake | D |
| This heart of mine is ever wide awake | D |
| And my love may never droop a drowsy eye Baby bye | B |
| Till your own are wet above me when I die Baby bye | B |
| Till your own are wet above me when I die | B |
