Nativity Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDACCAEFFEGG| Immensity cloistered in thy dear womb | A |
| Now leaves His well belov'd imprisonment | B |
| There He hath made Himself to His intent | C |
| Weak enough now into the world to come | D |
| But O for thee for Him hath the inn no room | A |
| Yet lay Him in this stall and from the Orient | C |
| Stars and wise men will travel to prevent | C |
| The effect of Herod's jealous general doom | A |
| Seest thou my soul with thy faith's eyes how He | E |
| Which fills all place yet none holds Him doth lie | F |
| Was not His pity towards thee wondrous high | F |
| That would have need to be pitied by thee | E |
| Kiss Him and with Him into Egypt go | G |
| With His kind mother who partakes thy woe | G |
