Down Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGH IJKJ LMGM| Down home to night the moonshine falls | A |
| Across a hill with daisies pied | B |
| The pear tree by the garden gate | C |
| Beckons with white arms like a bride | B |
| - | |
| A savor as of trampled fern | D |
| Along the whispering meadow stirs | E |
| And beacon of immortal love | F |
| A light is shining through the firs | E |
| - | |
| To my old gable window creeps | G |
| The night wind with a sigh and song | H |
| And weaving ancient sorceries | G |
| Thereto the gleeful moonbeams throng | H |
| - | |
| Beside the open kitchen door | I |
| My mother stands all lovingly | J |
| And o'er the pathways of the dark | K |
| She sends a yearning thought to me | J |
| - | |
| It seeks and finds my answering heart | L |
| Which shall no more be peace possessed | M |
| Until I reach her empty arms | G |
| And lay my head upon her breast | M |
