The Sabbath Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAD EFEFEF| Who careless would behold a goodly tree | A |
| Or noble palace stricken to decay | B |
| Who would drop precious jewels in the sea | A |
| Or cast rare heirlooms on the trodden way | B |
| Who but a prodigal in wantonness | A |
| Would waste his patrimony for swine's food | C |
| Who would his birthright sell for pottage mess | A |
| But a dull sensual Esau blind to good | D |
| - | |
| Our tree o'ershadowing the sons of care | E |
| Our palace welcoming the weary guest | F |
| Our precious jewel and our heirloom rare | E |
| Our birthright and our patrimony blest | F |
| Art thou to guard and keep for ever fair | E |
| Sweet Christian Sabbath day of joy and rest | F |
