Daybreak Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFCDCD GHGHCICD DDDDCDCD| Turn thy fair face to the breaking dawn | A |
| Lily so white that through all the dark | B |
| Hast kept lone watch on the dewy lawn | A |
| Deeming thy comrades grown cold and stark | B |
| Soon shall the sunbeam joyous and strong | C |
| Dry the tears in thy stamens of gold | D |
| Glinteth the day up merry and long | C |
| And the night grows old | D |
| - | |
| Turn thy fair face to Faith's rosy sky | E |
| Soul so white that lone night hath kept | F |
| Sighing for spirits sin bound that lie | E |
| Wrong has ruled right and the truth has slept | F |
| The dawn shall show thee a host ere long | C |
| Planting sweet roses abqve the mould | D |
| The sun of righteousness beameth strong | C |
| And sin's night grows old | D |
| - | |
| Turn thine eyes to the burnished zone | G |
| From out of thy nest neath darkened eaves | H |
| Oh bird who hast mingled thy plaintive moan | G |
| With sobbing winds through quivering leaves | H |
| From thy heart by light which groweth strong | C |
| Draw out the thorns that pierced on the world | I |
| Glinteth the day up merry and long | C |
| And the night grows old | D |
| - | |
| Turn thy sad eyes to God's summerland | D |
| Mourner who waileth some love laid past | D |
| Some bark that has anchored on foreign strand | D |
| And left her sailors free from the blast | D |
| They are not here where the grass grows long | C |
| They are not down in the red brown mould | D |
| Heaven's day is coming up fair and strong | C |
| And earth's night grows old | D |
