Light-winged Smoke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ| LIGHT WINGED Smoke Icarian bird | A |
| Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight | B |
| Lark without song and the messenger of dawn | C |
| Circling above the hamlets as thy nest | D |
| Or else departing dream and shadowy form | E |
| Of midnight vision gathering up thy skirts | F |
| By night star veiling and by day | G |
| Darkening the light and blotting out the sun | H |
| Go thou my incense upward from this hearth | I |
| And ask the gods to pardon this clear flame | J |
