Christmas Without Christ Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI

HOW can I keep my Christmas feastA
In its due festive showB
Reft of the sight of the High PriestA
From whom its glories flowB
-
I hear the tuneful bells aroundC
The bless d towers I seeD
A stranger on a foreign groundC
They peal a fast for meD
-
O Britons now so brave and highE
How will ye weep the dayF
When Christ in judgment passes byE
And calls the Bride awayF
-
Your Christmas then will lose its mirthG
Your Easter lose its bloomH
Abroad a scene of strife and dearthG
Within a cheerless homeI

John Henry Newman
