Here Is The Little Door Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD AAEECCFGF| Here is the little door lift up the latch oh lift | A |
| We need not wander more but enter with our gift | A |
| Our gift of finest gold | B |
| Gold that was never bought nor sold | B |
| Myrrh to be strewn about his bed | C |
| Incense in clouds about his head | C |
| All for the Child who stirs not in his sleep | D |
| But holy slumber holds with ass and sheep | D |
| - | |
| Bend low about his bed for each he has a gift | A |
| See how his eyes awake lift up your hands O lift | A |
| For gold he gives a keen edged sword | E |
| Defend with it Thy little Lord | E |
| For incense smoke of battle red | C |
| Myrrh for the honoured happy dead | C |
| Gifts for his children terrible and sweet | F |
| Touched by such tiny hands and | G |
| Oh such tiny feet | F |
