As our glad chorus starts to swell ding dong! ding dong! may peace among us come to dwell ding dong! ding dong! for on this day a child was born that we from neighbors not be torn but know we all as one belong ding dong! ding dong! |

The octogram, recently invented by Fanstorian Sally Yocom, is a two verse poem, with each verse consisting of 8 lines.
The syllable count for each verse is 8/4/8/4/8/8/8/4. The rhyme scheme is ABABCCBB ABABDDBB. The second line of verse one is the refrain line which is repeated as lines 8 of both verses. In this particular poem, I have repeated the refrain line extra times.
