Hora Christi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGF HIJKBLML BNBNOBOB PQRQDSTS| Sweet is the time for joyous folk | A |
| Of gifts and minstrelsy | B |
| Yet I O lowly hearted One | C |
| Crave but Thy company | D |
| On lonesome road beset with dread | E |
| My questing lies afar | F |
| I have no light save in the east | G |
| The gleaming of Thy star | F |
| - | |
| In cloistered aisles they keep to day | H |
| Thy feast O living Lord | I |
| With pomp of banner pride of song | J |
| And stately sounding word | K |
| Mute stand the kings of power and place | B |
| While priests of holy mind | L |
| Dispense Thy blessed heritage | M |
| Of peace to all mankind | L |
| - | |
| I know a spot where budless twigs | B |
| Are bare above the snow | N |
| And where sweet winter loving birds | B |
| Flit softly to and fro | N |
| There with the sun for altar fire | O |
| The earth for kneeling place | B |
| The gentle air for chorister | O |
| Will I adore Thy face | B |
| - | |
| Loud underneath the great blue sky | P |
| My heart shall p an sing | Q |
| The gold and myrrh of meekest love | R |
| Mine only offering | Q |
| Bliss of Thy birth shall quicken me | D |
| And for Thy pain and dole | S |
| Tears are but vain so I will keep | T |
| The silence of the soul | S |
