The Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EEEE| So quietly I seem to sit apart | A |
| I think she does not know or guess at all | B |
| How dear this certain hour to my old heart | A |
| When in our quiet street the shadows fall | B |
| - | |
| She leans and listens at the little gate | C |
| I sit so still not any eye might see | D |
| How watchfully before her there I wait | C |
| For that one step that brings my world to me | D |
| - | |
| She does not know that long before they meet | E |
| So eagerly must go a love athirst | E |
| My heart outstrips the flying of her feet | E |
| And meets and greets him first and greets him first | E |
