Mother To Son Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHDDIJKDLMNNBWell son I'll tell you | A |
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair | B |
It's had tacks in it | C |
And splinters | D |
And boards torn up | E |
And places with no carpet on the floor | F |
Bare | B |
But all the time | G |
I'se been a climbin' on | H |
And reachin' landin's | D |
And turnin' corners | D |
And sometimes goin' in the dark | I |
Where there ain't been no light | J |
So boy don't you turn back | K |
Don't you set down on the steps | D |
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard | L |
Don't you fall now | M |
For I'se still goin' honey | N |
I'se still climbin' | N |
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair | B |
