The Holy Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDDEECFFGGHHI| We sate among the stalls at Bethlehem | A |
| The dumb kine from their fodder turning them | A |
| Softened their horn'd faces | B |
| To almost human gazes | B |
| Toward the newly Born | C |
| The simple shepherds from the star lit brooks | D |
| Brought visionary looks | D |
| As yet in their astonished hearing rung | E |
| The strange sweet angel tongue | E |
| The magi of the East in sandals worn | C |
| Knelt reverent sweeping round | F |
| With long pale beards their gifts upon the ground | F |
| The incense myrrh and gold | G |
| These baby hands were impotent to hold | G |
| So let all earthlies and celestials wait | H |
| Upon thy royal state | H |
| Sleep sleep my kingly One | I |
