Soul's Birth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCBEFBFE| When you were born beloved was your soul | A |
| New made by God to match your body's flower | B |
| And were they both at one same precious hour | B |
| Sent forth from heaven as a perfect whole | A |
| Or had your soul since dim creation burned | C |
| A star in some still region of the sky | D |
| That leaping earthward left its place on high | D |
| And to your little new born body yearned | C |
| No words can tell in what celestial hour | B |
| God made your soul and gave it mortal birth | E |
| Nor in the disarray of all the stars | F |
| Is any place so sweet that such a flower | B |
| Might linger there until thro' heaven's bars | F |
| It heard God's voice that bade it down to earth | E |
