The Infant M---- M---- Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFEGG| Unquiet Childhood here by special grace | A |
| Forgets her nature opening like a flower | B |
| That neither feeds nor wastes its vital power | B |
| In painful struggles Months each other chase | A |
| And nought untunes that Infant's voice no trace | A |
| Of fretful temper sullies her pure cheek | C |
| Prompt lively self sufficing yet so meek | C |
| That one enrapt with gazing on her face | A |
| Which even the placid innocence of death | D |
| Could scarcely make more placid heaven more bright | E |
| Might learn to picture for the eye of faith | F |
| The Virgin as she shone with kindred light | E |
| A nursling couched upon her mother's knee | G |
| Beneath some shady palm of Galilee | G |
