The Glow-worm. (from The Villager's Verse-book.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAE| Oh what is this which shines so bright | A |
| And in the lonely place | B |
| Hangs out his small green lamp at night | A |
| The dewy bank to grace | B |
| - | |
| It is a glow worm still and pale | C |
| It shines the whole night long | D |
| When only stars O nightingale | C |
| Seem listening to thy song | D |
| - | |
| And so amid the world's cold night | A |
| Through good report or ill | E |
| Shines out the humble Christian's light | A |
| As lonely and as still | E |
