Man, A Torch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ| Blown up with painful care and hard to light | A |
| A glimmering torch blown in a moment out | B |
| Suspended by a web an angler's bait | C |
| Floating at stake along the stream of chance | D |
| Snatch'd from its hook by the fish of poverty | E |
| A silent cavern is his last abode | F |
| The king's repository veil'd with gloom | G |
| The umbrage of a thousand oziers bowed | H |
| The couch of hallowed bones the grave's asylum | I |
| The brave's retreat and end of ev'ry care | J |
