The Christmas-box Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| THIS box mine own sweet darling thou wilt find | A |
| With many a varied sweetmeat's form supplied | B |
| The fruits are they of holy Christmas tide | B |
| But baked indeed for children's use design'd | A |
| I'd fain in speeches sweet with skill combin'd | A |
| Poetic sweetmeats for the feast provide | B |
| But why in such frivolities confide | B |
| Perish the thought with flattery to blind | A |
| One sweet thing there is still that from within | C |
| Within us speaks that may be felt afar | D |
| This may be wafted o'er to thee alone | E |
| If thou a recollection fond canst win | C |
| As if with pleasure gleam'd each well known star | D |
| The smallest gift thou never wilt disown | E |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
