The Lamp Of Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEEC

Always we are following a lightA
Always the light recedes with groping handsB
We stretch toward this glory while the landsB
We journey through are hidden from our sightA
Dim and mysterious folded deep in nightA
We care not all our utmost need demandsB
Is but the light the light So still it standsB
Surely our own if we exert our mightA
Fool Never can'st thou grasp this fleeting gleamC
Its glowing flame would die if it were caughtD
Its value is that it doth always seemC
But just a little farther on DistraughtE
But lighted ever onward we are broughtE
Upon our way unknowing in a dreamC
