Smoke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAELord 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 |
