The Dawning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDE FEFEGGHI| Awake sad heart whom sorrow ever drowns | A |
| Take up thine eyes which feed on earth | B |
| Unfold thy forehead gathered into frowns | A |
| Thy Saviour comes and with Him mirth | B |
| Awake awake | C |
| And with a thankful heart His comforts take | C |
| But thou dost still lament and pine and cry | D |
| And feel His death but not His victory | E |
| - | |
| Arise sad heart if thou dost not withstand | F |
| Christ's resurrection thine may be | E |
| Do not by hanging down break from the hand | F |
| Which as it riseth raiseth thee | E |
| Arise Arise | G |
| And with His burial linen drie thine eyes | G |
| Christ left His grave clothes that we might when grief | H |
| Draws tears or blood not want a handkerchief | I |
