The Holy Tide Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD AEAEFGHG| The days are sad it is the Holy tide | A |
| The Winter morn is short the Night is long | B |
| So let the lifeless Hours be glorified | A |
| With deathless thoughts and echo'd in sweet song | B |
| And through the sunset of this purple cup | C |
| They will resume the roses of their prime | D |
| And the old Dead will hear us and wake up | C |
| Pass with dim smiles and make our hearts sublime | D |
| - | |
| The days are sad it is the Holy tide | A |
| Be dusky mistletoes and hollies strown | E |
| Sharp as the spear that pierced His sacred side | A |
| Red as the drops upon His thorny crown | E |
| No haggard Passion and no lawless Mirth | F |
| Fright off the solemn Muse tell sweet old tales | G |
| Sing songs as we sit brooding o'er the hearth | H |
| Till the lamp flickers and the memory fails | G |
