The Holy Star Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHI| As shadows cast by cloud and sun | A |
| Flit o'er the summer grass | B |
| So in thy sight Almighty One | A |
| Earth's generations pass | B |
| - | |
| And while the years an endless host | C |
| Come pressing swiftly on | D |
| The brightest names that earth can boast | C |
| Just glisten and are gone | E |
| - | |
| Yet doth the Star of Bethlehem shed | F |
| A lustre pure and sweet | G |
| And still it leads as once it led | F |
| To the Messiah's feet | G |
| - | |
| O Father may that holy star | H |
| Grow every year more bright | I |
| And send its glorious beams afar | H |
| To fill the world with light | I |
