One Sister have I in the house - And one a hedge away. There’s only one recorded - But both belong to me. One came the road that I came - And wore my last year’s gown - The other, as a bird her nest Builded our hearts among. She did not sing as we did - It was a different tune - Herself to her a music As Bumble bee of June. Today is far from childhood, But up and down the hills, I held her hand the tighter - Which shortened all the miles - And still her hum The years among, Deceives the Butterfly; And in her Eye The Violets lie, Mouldered this many May - I spilt the dew, But took the morn - I chose this single star From out the wide night’s numbers - Sue - forevermore!

Most slant rhymes are formed by words with identical consonants and different vowels, or vice versa. “Worm” and “swarm” are examples of slant rhymes.
