Smoke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAE| Lord I have laid my heart upon thy altar | A |
| But cannot get the wood to burn | B |
| It hardly flares ere it begins to falter | A |
| And to the dark return | B |
| - | |
| Old sap or night fallen dew makes damp the fuel | C |
| In vain my breath would flame provoke | D |
| Yet see at every poor attempt's renewal | C |
| To thee ascends the smoke | D |
| - | |
| 'Tis all I have smoke failure foiled endeavour | A |
| Coldness and doubt and palsied lack | E |
| Such as I have I send thee perfect Giver | A |
| Send thou thy lightning back | E |
