In Memory Of My Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBB AA A ACDE FGBA ABAB| I do not think of you lying in the wet clay | A |
| Of a Monaghan graveyard I see | B |
| You walking down a lane among the poplars | B |
| On your way to the station or happily | B |
| - | |
| Going to second Mass on a summer Sunday | A |
| You meet me and you say | A |
| 'Don't forget to see about the cattle ' | - |
| Among your earthiest words the angels stray | A |
| - | |
| And I think of you walking along a headland | A |
| Of green oats in June | C |
| So full of repose so rich with life | D |
| And I see us meeting at the end of a town | E |
| - | |
| On a fair day by accident after | F |
| The bargains are all made and we can walk | G |
| Together through the shops and stalls and markets | B |
| Free in the oriental streets of thought | A |
| - | |
| O you are not lying in the wet clay | A |
| For it is a harvest evening now and we | B |
| Are piling up the ricks against the moonlight | A |
| And you smile up at us eternally | B |
