Christmas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDACEFGGEHIJ KGKHLLMMG| The birth day of the Christ child dawneth slow | A |
| Out of the opal east in rosy flame | B |
| As if a luminous picture in its frame | B |
| A great cathedral window toward the sun | C |
| Lifted a form divine which still below | A |
| Stretched hands of benediction while the air | D |
| Swayed the bright aureole of the flowing hair | D |
| Which lit our upturned faces even so | A |
| Look on us from the heavens divinest One | C |
| And let us hear through the slow moving years | E |
| Long centuries of wrongs and crimes and tears | F |
| The echo of the angel's song again | G |
| Peace and good will good will and peace to men | G |
| A little space make silence that our ears | E |
| Filled with the din of toil and moil and pain | H |
| May catch the jubilant rapture of the skies | I |
| The glories of the choirs of paradise | J |
| - | |
| The hills still tremble when the thunders cease | K |
| Of the loud diapason and again | G |
| Through the rapt stillness steals the hymn of peace | K |
| Melodious and sweet its far refrain | H |
| Dying in distance as the shadows die | L |
| Of white wings vanished up the morning sky | L |
| As farther still and thinner more remote | M |
| A film of sound the aerial voices float | M |
| Peace and good will good will and peace to men | G |
