The Song Of The Old Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFF| I rise in the dawn and I kneel and blow | A |
| Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow | A |
| And then I must scrub and bake and sweep | B |
| Till stars are beginning to blink and peep | B |
| And the young lie long and dream in their bed | C |
| Of the matching of ribbons for bosom and head | C |
| And their day goes over in idleness | D |
| And they sigh if the wind but lift a tress | E |
| While I must work because I am old | F |
| And the seed of the fire gets feeble and cold | F |
