Holy Thursday (experience) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEA FGHG FIGIIs this a holy thing to see | A |
In a rich and fruitful land | B |
Babes reduced to misery | A |
Fed with cold and usurous hand | B |
- | |
Is that trembling cry a song | C |
Can it be a song of joy | D |
And so many children poor | E |
It is a land of poverty | A |
- | |
And their sun does never shine | F |
And their fields are bleak amp bare | G |
And their ways are fill'd with thorns | H |
It is eternal winter there | G |
- | |
For where e'er the sun does shine | F |
And where e'er the rain does fall | I |
Babe can never hunger there | G |
Nor poverty the mind appall | I |
