At The Sun-rise In 1848 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCADEEFA| God said Let there be light and there was light | A |
| Then heard we sounds as though the Earth did sing | B |
| And the Earth's angel cried upon the wing | B |
| We saw priests fall together and turn white | A |
| And covered in the dust from the sun's sight | A |
| A king was spied and yet another king | B |
| We said The round world keeps its balancing | B |
| On this globe they and we are opposite | C |
| If it is day with us with them 'tis night | A |
| Still Man in thy just pride remember this | D |
| Thou hadst not made that thy sons' sons shall ask | E |
| What the word king may mean in their day's task | E |
| But for the light that led and if light is | F |
| It is because God said Let there be light | A |
