Lines On A New-born Infant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI| Like a dew drop from heaven in the ocean of life | A |
| From the morn's rosy diadem falling | B |
| A stranger as yet to the storms and the strife | A |
| Dear babe of thy earthly calling | B |
| - | |
| Thine eyes have unclosed on this valley of tears | C |
| Hark that cry is the herald of anguish and woe | D |
| Thy young spirit finds a deep voice for its fears | E |
| Prophetic of all that is passing below | D |
| - | |
| How short will the term of thy ignorance be | F |
| The winds and the tempests will rise | G |
| And passion will cover with wrecks the calm sea | F |
| On whose surface no shadow now lies | G |
| - | |
| Unclouded and fair is the morn of thy birth | H |
| The first lovely day in a season of gloom | I |
| Whilst a pilgrim and stranger thou treadest this earth | H |
| May the sunbeams of hope gild thy path to the tomb | I |
