Bethlehem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| O ye who sail Potomac's even tide | A |
| To Vernon's shades our Chieftain's hallowed mound | B |
| Or who at distant shrines high paeans sound | B |
| In Alfred's cult old England's morning pride | A |
| Or seek Versailles conceited as a bride | A |
| With garish memories of kins strewn round | B |
| Or lay your spirit's cheek on Forum ground | B |
| For here a mighty Caesar lived and died | A |
| To these and other stones O ye who speed | C |
| Since there forsooth a prince was passing great | D |
| More zealous let your heart's adoring heed | C |
| The Child most Royal in a crib's estate | D |
| No poor so poor no king more king than He | E |
| Come better pilgrims to this mystery | E |
