Guerdon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEE FFGGHHII| Upon the white cheek of the Cherub Year | A |
| I saw a tear | B |
| Alas I murmured that the Year should borrow | C |
| So soon a sorrow | C |
| Just then the sunlight fell with sudden flame | D |
| The tear became | D |
| A wondrous diamond sparkling in the light | E |
| A beauteous sight | E |
| - | |
| Upon my soul there fell such woeful loss | F |
| I said The Cross | F |
| Is grievous for a life as young as mine | G |
| Just then like wine | G |
| God's sunlight shone from His high Heavens down | H |
| And lo a crown | H |
| Gleamed in the place of what I thought a burden | I |
| My sorrow's guerdon | I |
