A Power-plant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEFGEF| The Fisk Street turbine power station in Chicago | A |
| - | |
| The invisible wheels go softly round and round | B |
| Light is the tread of brazen footed Power | C |
| Spirits of air caged in the iron tower | C |
| Sing as they labor with a purring sound | B |
| The abysmal fires grated and chained and bound | B |
| Burn white and still in swift obedience cower | C |
| While far and wide the myriad lamps aflower | C |
| Glow like star gardens and the night confound | B |
| This we have done for thee almighty Lord | D |
| Yea even as they who built at thy command | E |
| The pillared temple or in marble made | F |
| Thine image or who sang thy deathless word | G |
| We take the weapons of thy dread right hand | E |
| And wield them in thy service unafraid | F |
