Christian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADDEEFGHHIG| I dreamed I stood upon a hill and lo | A |
| The godly multitudes walked to and fro | A |
| Beneath in Sabbath garments fitly clad | B |
| With pious mien appropriately sad | B |
| While all the church bells made a solemn din | C |
| A fire alarm to those who lived in sin | C |
| Then saw I gazing thoughtfully below | A |
| With tranquil face upon that holy show | A |
| A tall spare figure in a robe of white | D |
| Whose eyes diffused a melancholy light | D |
| 'God keep you stranger ' I exclaimed 'You are | E |
| No doubt your habit shows it from afar | E |
| And yet I entertain the hope that you | F |
| Like these good people are a Christian too ' | G |
| He raised his eyes and with a look so stern | H |
| It made me with a thousand blushes burn | H |
| Replied his manner with disdain was spiced | I |
| 'What I a Christian No indeed I'm Christ ' | G |
