Christmas Time Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDC EFFEAGGA HIIHAJJA KLLKAMNA OPPOJQRJ| How sweet the brazen belfries chime | A |
| Across the hills and through the dales | B |
| And o'er the breasts of meadowed vales | B |
| Beneath the smiles of Christmas time | A |
| Rough sorrow's thorny fingers grow | C |
| As soft and waxen as a child's | D |
| And balmy pleasures o'er the wilds | D |
| Chant music to the drifting snow | C |
| - | |
| Ah scattered locks that fringe my face | E |
| With wintry wisps of white and gray | F |
| Ah sad dimmed eyes that look away | F |
| To artless childhood's tender grace | E |
| To night those years with joys sublime | A |
| Steal over me and fill my soul | G |
| With lullabies of bliss that roll | G |
| The golden glees of Christmas time | A |
| - | |
| Again I live in wondrous days | H |
| When baby hands with chubby glee | I |
| Plucked gladness from the loaded tree | I |
| Where loving burdens bent the sprays | H |
| The sunny songs of that sweet clime | A |
| Sing softly in my soul again | J |
| Till I forget the ways of men | J |
| And laugh and shout at Christmas time | A |
| - | |
| Angelic joys that died in pain | K |
| Sweet raptures from the days of bliss | L |
| Your loving lips with clinging kiss | L |
| Thrill all my heart and soul and brain | K |
| And turning from my weary rhyme | A |
| To count my sorrows o'er and o'er | M |
| I'd give my life to know once more | N |
| Those wondrous days of Christmas time | A |
| - | |
| Ring laughing bells ring out to night | O |
| From happy years that now are fled | P |
| You bring the faces of the dead | P |
| And bless me with a deep delight | O |
| Away away these thoughts of men | J |
| These toils of mine that sadness give | Q |
| My heart grows young and I would live | R |
| My Christmas pleasures o'er again | J |
