The Morning Hour Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBCCDDEEFF GGHHIIJJ| Like a maid on her bridal morn I rise | A |
| With the smile on her lip and the tear in her eyes | A |
| Whilst the breeze my crimson banner unfurls | A |
| I wreathe my locks with the purest pearls | A |
| Brighter diamonds never were seen | B |
| Encircling the neck of an Indian queen | B |
| I traverse the east on my glittering wing | C |
| And my smiles awake every living thing | C |
| And the twilight hour like a pilgrim gray | D |
| Follows the night on her weeping way | D |
| I raise the veil from the saffron bed | E |
| Where the young sun pillows his golden head | E |
| He lifts from the ocean his burning eye | F |
| And his glory lights up the earth and sky | F |
| - | |
| Ah I am like that dewy prime | G |
| Ere youth hath shaken hands with time | G |
| Ere the fresh tide of life has wasted low | H |
| And discovered the hidden rocks of woe | H |
| When like the rosy beams of morn | I |
| Joy and gladness and love were born | I |
| Hope divine of heavenly birth | J |
| And pleasure that lightens the cares of earth | J |
