To My Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EDED FGFH IJIJ KKKK| Yes I have sung of others' woes | A |
| Until they almost seem'd mine own | B |
| And fancy oft will scenes disclose | A |
| Whose being was in thought alone | B |
| - | |
| Her magic power I've cherished long | C |
| And yielded to her soothing sway | D |
| Enchanting is her syren song | C |
| And wild and wond'rous is her way | D |
| - | |
| But thou whene'er I think on thee | E |
| Those glittering visions fade away | D |
| My soul awakens how tenderly | E |
| To pleasures that can ne'er decay | D |
| - | |
| There's not an hour of life goes by | F |
| But makes thee still more firmly dear | G |
| My sighs attend upon thy sigh | F |
| My sorrows wait upon thy tear | H |
| - | |
| For earth has nought so good so pure | I |
| That may compare with love like thine | J |
| Long as existence shall endure | I |
| Thy star of guiding love shall shine | J |
| - | |
| O'er other stars dark clouds may lower | K |
| And from our path their light may sever | K |
| They lived to bless us but an hour | K |
| But thine shall live to bless us ever | K |
