The Comforter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GBGB| As I sat by my baby's bed | A |
| That's open to the sky | B |
| There fluttered round and round my head | A |
| A radiant butterfly | B |
| - | |
| And as I wept of hearts that ache | C |
| The saddest in the land | D |
| It left a lily for my sake | C |
| And lighted on my hand | D |

| I watched it oh so quietly | E |
| And though it rose and flew | F |
| As if it fain would comfort me | E |
| It came and came anew | F |
| - | |
| Now where my darling lies at rest | G |
| I do not dare to sigh | B |
| For look there gleams upon my breast | G |
| A snow white butterfly | B |
