Home Songs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCA DCDCEE| The little loves and sorrows are my song | A |
| The leafy lanes and birthsteads of my sires | B |
| Where memory broods by winter's evening fires | C |
| O'er oft told joys and ghosts of ancient wrong | A |
| The little cares and carols that belong | A |
| To home hearts and old rustic lutes and lyres | C |
| And spreading acres where calm eyed desires | C |
| Wake with the dawn unfevered fair and strong | A |
| - | |
| If words of mine might lull the bairn to sleep | D |
| And tell the meaning in a mother's eyes | C |
| Might counsel love and teach their eyes to weep | D |
| Who o'er their dead question unanswering skies | C |
| More worth than legions in the dust of strife | E |
| Time looking back at last should count my life | E |
