A Sculptor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEDCFGGFHI| As the ambitious sculptor tireless lifts | A |
| Chisel and hammer to the block at hand | B |
| Before my half formed character I stand | B |
| And ply the shining tools of mental gifts | A |
| I'll cut away a huge unsightly side | C |
| Of selfishness and smooth to curves of grace | D |
| The angles of ill temper | E |
| And no trace | D |
| Shall my sure hammer leave of silly pride | C |
| Chip after chip must fall from vain desires | F |
| And the sharp corners of my discontent | G |
| Be rounded into symmetry and lent | G |
| Great harmony by faith that never tires | F |
| Unfinished still I must toil on and on | H |
| Till the pale critic Death shall say ''Tis done ' | I |
