The Birth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLM| There is a legend that the love of God | A |
| So quickened under Mary's heart it wrought | B |
| Her very maidenhood to holier stuff | C |
| However that may be the birth befell | D |
| Upon a night when all the Syrian stars | E |
| Swayed tremulous before one lordlier orb | F |
| That rose in gradual splendor | G |
| Paused | H |
| Flooding the firmament with mystic light | I |
| And dropped upon the breathing hills | J |
| A sudden music | K |
| Like a distillation from its gleams | L |
| A rain of spirit and a dew of song | M |
