Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBBA AAAACDDA EEEFAAAF GGGAHHHA| 'Tis the hour when white horsed Day | A |
| Chases Night her mares away | A |
| When the Gates of Dawn they say | A |
| Phobus opes | A |
| And I gather that the Queen | B |
| May be uniformly seen | B |
| Should the weather be serene | B |
| On the slopes | A |
| - | |
| When the ploughman as he goes | A |
| Leathern gaitered o'er the snows | A |
| From his hat and from his nose | A |
| Knocks the ice | A |
| And the panes are frosted o'er | C |
| And the lawn is crisp and hoar | D |
| As has been observed before | D |
| Once or twice | A |
| - | |
| When arrayed in breastplate red | E |
| Sings the robin for his bread | E |
| On the elmtree that hath shed | E |
| Every leaf | F |
| While within the frost benumbs | A |
| The still sleepy schoolboy's thumbs | A |
| And in consequence his sums | A |
| Come to grief | F |
| - | |
| But when breakfast time hath come | G |
| And he's crunching crust and crumb | G |
| He'll no longer look a glum | G |
| Little dunce | A |
| But be brisk as bees that settle | H |
| On a summer rose's petal | H |
| Wherefore Polly put the kettle | H |
| On at once | A |
