The New Old Story Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| Hard by an ancient mansion stood an oak | A |
| For centuries 'twas said it had been there | B |
| The old towers crumbled 'neath decay's slow stroke | A |
| While hall by hall upgrew a palace fair | B |
| Lives and momentous eras waxed and waned | C |
| Old barons died and barons young and gay | D |
| Ruled in their stead and still the oak remained | C |
| And each new spring seemed older not a day | D |
| - | |
| The vesture of the spirit of mankind | E |
| Forms and beliefs like meteors rise and set | F |
| The spirit too doth change but o'er the mind | E |
| This old Evangel holds young lordship yet | F |
| And here among Canadian snows we bring | G |
| Each Christmastide our tribute to the King | G |
