The Morning-watch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABAABAACAAAAACDAEA AADFGFHIJHGKK| O joys infinite sweetness with what flow'rs | A |
| And shoots of glory my soul breaks and buds | A |
| All the long hours | A |
| Of night and rest | B |
| Through the still shrouds | A |
| Of sleep and clouds | A |
| This dew fell on my breast | B |
| Oh how it bloods | A |
| And spirits all my earth Hark In what rings | A |
| And hymning circulations the quick world | C |
| Awakes and sings | A |
| The rising winds | A |
| And falling springs | A |
| Birds beasts all things | A |
| Adore him in their kinds | A |
| Thus all is hurl'd | C |
| In sacred hymns and order the great chime | D |
| And symphony of nature Prayer is | A |
| The world in tune | E |
| A spirit voice | A |
| And vocal joys | A |
| Whose echo is heav'n's bliss | A |
| O let me climb | D |
| When I lie down The pious soul by night | F |
| Is like a clouded star whose beams though said | G |
| To shed their light | F |
| Under some cloud | H |
| Yet are above | I |
| And shine and move | J |
| Beyond that misty shroud | H |
| So in my bed | G |
| That curtain'd grave though sleep like ashes hide | K |
| My lamp and life both shall in thee abide | K |
