The Living Flame Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEA EFF| They pass before me these Eyes full of light | A |
| Eyes made magnetic by some angel wise | B |
| The holy brothers pass before my sight | A |
| And cast their diamond fires in my dim eyes | B |
| - | |
| They keep me from all sin and error grave | C |
| They set me in the path whence Beauty came | D |
| They are my servants and I am their slave | C |
| And all my soul obeys the living flame | D |
| - | |
| Beautiful Eyes that gleam with mystic light | A |
| As candles lighted at full noon the sun | E |
| Dims not your flame phantastical and bright | A |
| - | |
| You sing the dawn they celebrate life done | E |
| Marching you chaunt my soul's awakening hymn | F |
| Stars that no sun has ever made grow dim | F |
