To My Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKIKKLMNOIP QFK| No foreign tribute from a stranger hand | A |
| Mother I bring thee whom not Heaven's songs | B |
| Would as an alien reach Ah but how far | C |
| From Heaven's least heavenly is the changing note | D |
| And changing fancy of these fitful cries | E |
| Mother forgive them as the best of me | F |
| Has ever pleaded only for thy pardon | G |
| Not for thy praise | H |
| Mother there is a love | I |
| Men give to wives and children lovers friends | J |
| There is a love which some men give to God | K |
| Ah between this I think and that last love | I |
| Last and too late discovered love of God | K |
| There shines and nearer to the love of God | K |
| The love a man gives only to his mother | L |
| Whose travail of dear thought has never end | M |
| Until the End Oh that my mouth had words | N |
| Comfortable as thy kisses to the boy | O |
| Who loved while he forgot thee Now I love | I |
| Sundered and far with daily heart's remembrance | P |
| The face the wind brings to me the sun lights | Q |
| The birds and waters sing the face of thee | F |
| Whom I love with a love like love of God | K |
