To A Nurse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| As dropping moisture on December flowers | A |
| As sunlight breaking o'er the August plain | B |
| As shines the Virgin on the midnight hours | A |
| So is thy presence at the bed of pain | B |
| And as the flowers revive to bloom more fair | C |
| And o'er the plain the wattles burst in fire | D |
| And midnight hours to morn at last repair | C |
| So hope and life thy minist'rings inspire | E |
| And though for me there's but the life and hope | F |
| That lie abundant past the gates of Death | G |
| Yet thither as with feeble steps I grope | F |
| Thy friendly arm assists my failing breath | G |
| Nor will I deem of Providence the worse | H |
| Who sent me pain to send me thee for nurse | H |
