Canada Home. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EFEFCD GFGFCD HIHICD JFJFCD| Some Homes are where flowers for ever blow | A |
| The sun shining hotly the whole year round | B |
| But our Home glistens with six months of snow | A |
| Where frost without wind heightens every sound | B |
| And Home is Home wherever it is | C |
| When we're all together and nothing amiss | D |
| - | |
| Yet Willy is old enough to recall | E |
| A Home forgotten by Eily and me | F |
| He says that we left it five years since last Fall | E |
| And came sailing sailing right over the sea | F |
| But Home is Home wherever it is | C |
| When we're all together and nothing amiss | D |
| - | |
| Our other Home was for ever green | G |
| A green green isle in a blue blue sea | F |
| With sweet flowers such as we never have seen | G |
| And Willy tells all this to Eily and me | F |
| But Home is Home wherever it is | C |
| When we're all together and nothing amiss | D |
| - | |
| He says What fine fun when we all go back | H |
| But Canada Home is very good fun | I |
| When Pat's little sled flies along the smooth track | H |
| Or spills in the snowdrift that shines in the sun | I |
| For Home is Home wherever it is | C |
| When we're all together and nothing amiss | D |
| - | |
| Some day I should dearly love it is true | J |
| To sail to the old Home over the sea | F |
| But only if Father and Mother went too | J |
| With Willy and Patrick and Eily and me | F |
| For Home is Home wherever it is | C |
| When we're all together and nothing amiss | D |
