Silent, Silent Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD

Silent silent nightA
Quench the holy lightA
Of thy torches brightA
-
For possessed of DayB
Thousand spirits strayB
That sweet joys betrayB
-
Why should joys be sweetC
Used with deceitC
Nor with sorrows meetC
-
But an honest joyD
Does itself destroyD
For a harlot coyD

William Blake
