The Christmas Box Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD BBEE BBFF| Oh we have shipped his Christmas box with ribbons red 'tis tied | A |
| And he shall find the things he likes from them he loves inside | A |
| But he must miss the kisses true and all the laughter gay | B |
| And he must miss the smiles of home upon his Christmas Day | B |
| - | |
| He'll spend his Christmas 'neath the Flag he'll miss each merry face | C |
| Old Glory smiling down on him must take his mother's place | C |
| Yet in the Christmas box we've sent in fancy he will find | D |
| The laughter and the tears of joy that he has left behind | D |
| - | |
| His mother's tenderness is there his father's kindly way | B |
| And all that went last year to make his merry Christmas Day | B |
| He'll see once more his sister's smile he'll hear the baby shout | E |
| And as he opens every gift we'll gather round about | E |
| - | |
| He cannot come to share with us the joys of Christmas Day | B |
| The Flag has called to him and he is serving far away | B |
| Undaunted unafraid and fine he stands to duty grim | F |
| And so this Christmas we have tried to ship ourselves to him | F |
