A Birthday Gift Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CBBD EFFEFF| No gift I bring but worship and the love | A |
| Which all must bear to lovely souls and pure | B |
| Those lights that when all else is dark endure | B |
| Stars in the night to lift our eyes above | A |
| - | |
| To lift our eyes and hearts and make us move | C |
| Less doubtful though our journey be obscure | B |
| Less fearful of its ending being sure | B |
| That they watch over us where'er we rove | D |
| - | |
| And though my gift itself have little worth | E |
| Yet worth it gains from her to whom tis given | F |
| As a weak flower gets colour from the sun | F |
| Or rather as when angels walk the earth | E |
| All things they look on take the look of heaven | F |
| For of those blessed angels thou art one | F |
