Light-winged Smoke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJLIGHT 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 |
