Mirth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFEEF GHGGH IJIIJ| If you are merry sing away | A |
| And touch the organs sweet | B |
| This is the Lord's triumphant day | A |
| Ye children in the gall'ries gay | A |
| Shout from each goodly seat | B |
| - | |
| It shall be May to morrow's morn | C |
| A field then let us run | D |
| And deck us in the blooming thorn | C |
| Soon as the cock begins to warn | C |
| And long before the sun | D |
| - | |
| I give the praise to Christ alone | E |
| My pinks already show | F |
| And my streak'd roses fully blown | E |
| The sweetness of the Lord make known | E |
| And to His glory grow | F |
| - | |
| Ye little prattlers that repair | G |
| For cowslips in the mead | H |
| Of those exulting colts beware | G |
| But blythe security is there | G |
| Where skipping lambkins feed | H |
| - | |
| With white and crimson laughs the sky | I |
| With birds the hedge rows ring | J |
| To give the praise to God most high | I |
| And all the sulky fiends defy | I |
| Is a most joyful thing | J |
