Kneeling With Herrick Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHIIJJKK LLMMNN| Dear Lord to Thee my knee is bent | A |
| Give me content | A |
| Full pleasured with what comes to me | B |
| What e'er it be | B |
| An humble roof a frugal board | C |
| And simple hoard | C |
| The wintry fagot piled beside | D |
| The chimney wide | D |
| While the enwreathing flames up sprout | E |
| And twine about | E |
| The brazen dogs that guard my hearth | F |
| And household worth | G |
| Tinge with the ember's ruddy glow | H |
| The rafters low | H |
| And let the sparks snap with delight | I |
| As ringers might | I |
| That mark deft measures of some tune | J |
| The children croon | J |
| Then with good friends the rarest few | K |
| Thou holdest true | K |
| Ranged round about the blaze to share | L |
| My comfort there | L |
| Give me to claim the service meet | M |
| That makes each seat | M |
| A place of honor and each guest | N |
| Loved as the rest | N |
