A Warning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACD EFFEGG| There was a flame oh such a tiny flame | A |
| One fleeting hour had spanned its birth and death | B |
| But for a silly child with playful breath | B |
| Who fanned it into fury It became | A |
| A mighty conflagration Ah the cost | C |
| House home and thoughtless child alike were lost | D |
| - | |
| Lady beware Fan not the harmless glow | E |
| Of admiration into ardent love | F |
| Lean not with red curled smiling lips above | F |
| The flickering spark of sinless flame and blow | E |
| Lest in the sudden waking of desire | G |
| Thou like the child shalt perish in the fire | G |
