In Hospital - Xx - Visitor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGEGF| Her little face is like a walnut shell | A |
| With wrinkling lines her soft white hair adorns | B |
| Her withered brows in quaint straight curls like horns | B |
| And all about her clings an old sweet smell | A |
| Prim is her gown and quakerlike her shawl | C |
| Well might her bonnets have been born on her | D |
| Can you conceive a Fairy Godmother | D |
| The subject of a strong religious call | C |
| In snow or shine from bed to bed she runs | E |
| All twinkling smiles and texts and pious tales | F |
| Her mittened hands that ever give or pray | G |
| Bearing a sheaf of tracts a bag of buns | E |
| A wee old maid that sweeps the Bridegroom's way | G |
| Strong in a cheerful trust that never fails | F |
William Ernest Henley
