To My Mother Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFCDCD GBGBCDCD| Chiming a dream by the way | A |
| With ocean's rapture and roar | B |
| I met a maiden to day | A |
| Walking alone on the shore | B |
| Walking in maiden wise | C |
| Modest and kind and fair | D |
| The freshness of spring in her eyes | C |
| And the fulness of spring in her hair | D |
| - | |
| Cloud shadow and scudding sun burst | E |
| Were swift on the floor of the sea | F |
| And a mad wind was romping its worst | E |
| But what was their magic to me | F |
| Or the charm of the midsummer skies | C |
| I only saw she was there | D |
| A dream of the sea in her eyes | C |
| And the kiss of the sea in her hair | D |
| - | |
| I watched her vanish in space | G |
| She came where I walked no more | B |
| But something had passed of her grace | G |
| To the spell of the wave and the shore | B |
| And now as the glad stars rise | C |
| She comes to me rosy and rare | D |
| The delight of the wind in her eyes | C |
| And the hand of the wind in her hair | D |
