The Sky-lark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFC GGHHIITHE Sky lark when the dews of morn | A |
Hang tremulous on flower and thorn | A |
And violets round his nest exhale | B |
Their fragrance on the early gale | B |
To the first sunbeam spreads his wings | C |
Buoyant with joy and soars and sings | C |
- | |
He rests not on the leafy spray | D |
To warble his exulting lay | D |
But high above the morning cloud | E |
Mounts in triumphant freedom proud | E |
And swells when nearest to the sky | F |
His notes of sweetest ecstacy | C |
- | |
Thus my Creator thus the more | G |
My spirit's wing to Thee can soar | G |
The more she triumphs to behold | H |
Thy love in all thy works unfold | H |
And bids her hymns of rapture be | I |
Most glad when rising most to Thee | I |
