The Lamp Of Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEECAlways we are following a light | A |
Always the light recedes with groping hands | B |
We stretch toward this glory while the lands | B |
We journey through are hidden from our sight | A |
Dim and mysterious folded deep in night | A |
We care not all our utmost need demands | B |
Is but the light the light So still it stands | B |
Surely our own if we exert our might | A |
Fool Never can'st thou grasp this fleeting gleam | C |
Its glowing flame would die if it were caught | D |
Its value is that it doth always seem | C |
But just a little farther on Distraught | E |
But lighted ever onward we are brought | E |
Upon our way unknowing in a dream | C |
