Hagar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGHHGFDDF| SHE went along the road | A |
| Her baby in her arms | B |
| The night and its alarms | B |
| Made deadlier her load | A |
| Her shrunken breasts were dry | C |
| She felt the hunger bite | D |
| She lay down in the night | D |
| She and the child to die | C |
| But it would wail and wail | E |
| And wail She crept away | F |
| She had no word to say | F |
| Yet still she heard it wail | E |
| She took a jagged stone | G |
| She wished it to be dead | H |
| She beat it on the head | H |
| It only gave one moan | G |
| She has no word to say | F |
| She sits there in the night | D |
| The east sky glints with light | D |
| And it is Christmas Day | F |
