Sonnets - I - Christmas Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| O happy day with seven fold blessings set | A |
| Amid thy hallowed hours the memories dear | B |
| Of childhood's holidays and household cheer | B |
| When friends and kin in loving circle met | A |
| And youth's glad gatherings where the sands were wet | A |
| By waves that hurt not whilst the great cliffs near | B |
| With storms erewhile acquaint gave echo clear | B |
| Of voices gay and laughter gayer yet | A |
| And graver thoughts and holier arise | C |
| Of how 'twixt that first eve and dawn of thine | D |
| The Star ascended which hath lit our skies | C |
| More than the sun himself and 'mid the kine | D |
| The Child was born whom shepherds and the wise | C |
| Who came from far and angels called Divine | D |
