Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCCDCDC| 'MOTHER Mother ' he called as he fell | A |
| In the horror there | B |
| Of a bursting shell | A |
| That strewed red flesh on the air | B |
| Far away over sea and land | C |
| The knitting dropt | C |
| From an old white hand | C |
| And a heart for an instant stopt | C |
| But it was Death dark mother and wise | D |
| All tenderest | C |
| Who kissed his eyes | D |
| And gathered him to her breast | C |
