Regina CÅ?le Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFFEGHGH| Say did his sisters wonder what could Joseph see | A |
| In a mild silent little Maid like thee | A |
| And was it awful in that narrow house | B |
| With God for Babe and Spouse | B |
| Nay like thy simple female sort each one | C |
| Apt to find Him in Husband and in Son | C |
| Nothing to thee came strange in this | D |
| Thy wonder was but wondrous bliss | D |
| Wondrous for though | E |
| True Virgin lives not but does know | E |
| Howbeit none ever yet confess'd | F |
| That God lies really in her breast | F |
| Of thine He made His special nest | F |
| And so | E |
| All mothers worship little feet | G |
| And kiss the very ground they've trod | H |
| But ah thy little Baby sweet | G |
| Who was indeed thy God | H |
