Silent, Silent Night
Silent Silent Night-A
Quench the holy light-A
Of thy torches bright-A
For possessd of Day-B
Thousand spirits stray-B
That sweet joys betray-B
Why should joys be sweet-C
Used with deceit-C
Nor with sorrows meet-C
But an honest joy-D
Does itself destroy-D
For a harlot coy-D

The Rhyme Scheme is AAABBBCCCDDD. The effect the use of rhyme has on our understanding ofthe poem is that it concentrates our focus on certain sections of the poem. He directs our focus to each section of the rhyme scheme, such as A, and tries to concentrate meaning in these sections. You read one section and move to the next, everything isnt muddled. Therefore, he has a straightforward projection of meaning.
