The Inverted Torch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFGHH| Threading a darksome passage all alone | A |
| The taper's flame by envious current blown | A |
| Crouched low and eddied round as in affright | B |
| So challenged by the vast and hostile night | B |
| Then down I held the taper swift and fain | C |
| Up climbed the lovely flower of light again | D |
| - | |
| Thou Kindler of the spark of life divine | E |
| Be henceforth the Inverted Torch a sign | E |
| That though the flame beloved thou dost depress | F |
| Thou wilt not speed it into nothingness | G |
| But out of nether gloom wilt reinspire | H |
| And homeward lift the keen empyreal fire | H |
