Hawarden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| When comes the lighted day for men to read | A |
| Life's meaning with the work before their hands | B |
| Till this good gift of breath from debt is freed | C |
| Earth will not hear her children's wailful bands | B |
| Deplore the chieftain fall'n in sob and dirge | D |
| Nor they look where is darkness but on high | E |
| The sun that dropped down our horizon's verge | D |
| Illumes his labours through the travelled sky | E |
| Now seen in sum most glorious and 'tis known | F |
| By what our warrior wrought we hold him fast | G |
| A splendid image built of man has flown | F |
| His deeds inspired of God outstep a Past | G |
| Ours the great privilege to have had one | H |
| Among us who celestial tasks has done | H |
