In Memory Of My Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBB AA A ACDE FGBA ABABI 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 |
