Christmas Day, 1850 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBC ABBA DEFDEF

Beautiful stories wed with lovely daysA
Like words and music what shall be the taleB
Of love and nobleness that might availB
To express in action what this sweetness saysC
-
The sweetness of a day of airs and raysA
That are strange glories on the winter paleB
Alas O beauty all my fancies failB
I cannot tell a story in thy praiseA
-
Thou hast thou hast one set and sure to chimeD
With thee as with the days of winter wildE
For Joy like Sorrow loves his blessed feetF
Who shone from Heaven on Earth this Christmas timeD
A Brother and a Saviour Mary's childE
And so fair day thou hast thy story sweetF
