The Inward Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIH JKLM NOPO QRSR TUEU MVJV WXYB| Packed in my mind lie all the clothes | A |
| Which outward nature wears | B |
| And in its fashion's hourly change | C |
| It all things else repairs | B |
| In vain I look for change abroad | D |
| And can no difference find | E |
| Till some new ray of peace uncalled | F |
| Illumes my inmost mind | E |
| - | |
| What is it gilds the trees and clouds | G |
| And paints the heavens so gay | H |
| But yonder fast abiding light | I |
| With its unchanging ray | H |
| - | |
| Lo when the sun streams through the wood | J |
| Upon a winter's morn | K |
| Where'er his silent beams intrude | L |
| The murky night is gone | M |
| - | |
| How could the patient pine have known | N |
| The morning breeze would come | O |
| Or humble flowers anticipate | P |
| The insect's noonday hum | O |
| - | |
| Till the new light with morning cheer | Q |
| From far streamed through the aisles | R |
| And nimbly told the forest trees | S |
| For many stretching miles | R |
| - | |
| I've heard within my inmost soul | T |
| Such cheerful morning news | U |
| In the horizon of my mind | E |
| Have seen such orient hues | U |
| - | |
| As in the twilight of the dawn | M |
| When the first birds awake | V |
| Are heard within some silent wood | J |
| Where they the small twigs break | V |
| - | |
| Or in the eastern skies are seen | W |
| Before the sun appears | X |
| The harbingers of summer heats | Y |
| Which from afar he bears | B |
