Star Of My Heart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCCBBC DEDDEFFFGGFHFStar of my heart I follow from afar | A |
Sweet Love on high lead on where shepherds are | A |
Where Time is not and only dreamers are | A |
Star from of old the Magi Kings are dead | B |
And a foolish Saxon seeks the manger bed | B |
O lead me to Jehovah's child | C |
Across this dreamland lone and wild | C |
Then will I speak this prayer unsaid | B |
And kiss his little haloed head | B |
My star and I we love thee little child | C |
- | |
Except the Christ be born again to night | D |
In dreams of all men saints and sons of shame | E |
The world will never see his kingdom bright | D |
Stars of all hearts lead onward thro' the night | D |
Past death black deserts doubts without a name | E |
Past hills of pain and mountains of new sin | F |
To that far sky where mystic births begin | F |
Where dreaming ears the angel song shall win | F |
Our Christmas shall be rare at dawning there | G |
And each shall find his brother fair | G |
Like a little child within | F |
All hearts of the earth shall find new birth | H |
And wake no more to sin | F |
