Sabbath Bells Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFEEF GHGGH I

Oh holy Sabbath bellsA
Ye have a pleasant voiceB
Through all the land your music swellsA
And man with one commandment tellsA
To rest and to rejoiceB
-
As birds rejoice to fleeC
From dark and stormy skiesD
To brighter lands beyond the seaC
Where skies are calm and wings are freeC
To wander and to riseD
-
As thirsty travellers singE
Through desert paths that passF
To hear the welcome waters springE
And see beyond the spray they flingE
Tall trees and waving grassF
-
So we rejoice to knowG
Your melody begunH
For when our paths are parched belowG
Ye tell us where green pastures glowG
And living waters runH
