The Idol-maker Prays Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Great god whom I shall carve from this gray stone | A |
| Wherein thou liest hid to all but me | B |
| Grant thou that when my art hath made thee known | A |
| And others bow I shall not worship thee | B |
| But as I pray thee now then let me pray | C |
| Some greater god like thee to be conceived | D |
| Within my soul for strength to turn away | C |
| From his new altar when that task achieved | D |
| He too stands manifest Yea let me yearn | E |
| From dream to grander dream Let me not rest | F |
| Content at any goal Still bid me spurn | E |
| Each transient triumph on the Eternal Quest | F |
| Abjuring godlings whom my hand hath made | G |
| For Deity revealed but unportrayed | G |
