Let Your Light So Shine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI| Sometimes O Lord thou lightest in my head | A |
| A lamp that well might pharos all the lands | B |
| Anon the light will neither rise nor spread | A |
| Shrouded in danger gray the beacon stands | B |
| - | |
| A pharos Oh dull brain poor dying lamp | C |
| Under a bushel with an earthy smell | D |
| Mouldering it stands in rust and eating damp | C |
| While the slow oil keeps oozing from its cell | D |
| - | |
| For me it were enough to be a flower | E |
| Knowing its root in thee the Living hid | F |
| Ordained to blossom at the appointed hour | E |
| And wake or sleep as thou my Nature bid | F |
| - | |
| But hear my brethren in their darkling fright | G |
| Hearten my lamp that it may shine abroad | H |
| Then will they cry Lo there is something bright | G |
| Who kindled it if not the shining God | I |
