Christmas Eve 1914 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHAJKJ FLMLKNCN

Silent to night o'er Judah's hillsA
Bend low the angel throngB
No heavenly music fills the airC
Exultantly with songB
Yet close above the sin scarred earthD
Broods still the Love DivineE
And through the darkness as of oldF
The stars of pity shineE
-
-
Silent to night is BethlehemG
Along the hush d waysH
No eager feet of worshippersI
No melodies of praiseH
Yet in the quietness that fillsA
The waiting hearts of menJ
The ancient miracle of hopeK
Is wrought to night againJ
-
-
O holy Christ to whom of oldF
The wondering shepherds cameL
The light they sought with flaming joyM
We seek in contrite shameL
And though men strive we dare to hopeK
That Thou again art bornN
For through the night of our despairC
Behold Thy star of mornN
