Awake To Smile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGFGF HIHIFHFH| When I blink sunshine in my eyes | A |
| And hail the amber morn | B |
| Before the rosy dew drop dries | A |
| With sparkle on the thorn | B |
| When boughs with robin rapture ring | C |
| And bees hum in the may | D |
| Then call me young with heart of Spring | C |
| Though I be grey | D |
| - | |
| But when no more I know the joy | E |
| And urgence of that hour | F |
| As like a happy hearted boy | E |
| I leap to land aflower | F |
| When gusto I no longer feel | G |
| To rouse with glad hooray | F |
| Then call me old and let me steal | G |
| From men away | F |
| - | |
| Let me awaken with a smile | H |
| And go to garden glee | I |
| For there is such a little while | H |
| Of living left to me | I |
| But when star wist I frail away | F |
| Lord let the hope beguile | H |
| That to Ecstatic Light I may | F |
| Awake to smile | H |
