Behold The Sun. (air.--lord Mornington.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GAGA| Behold the Sun how bright | A |
| From yonder East he springs | B |
| As if the soul of life and light | A |
| Were breathing from his wings | B |
| - | |
| So bright the Gospel broke | C |
| Upon the souls of men | D |
| So fresh the dreaming world awoke | C |
| In Truth's full radiance then | D |
| - | |
| Before yon Sun arose | E |
| Stars clustered thro' the sky | F |
| But oh how dim how pale were those | E |
| To His one burning eye | F |
| - | |
| So Truth lent many a ray | G |
| To bless the Pagan's night | A |
| But Lord how weak how cold were they | G |
| To Thy One glorious Light | A |
