Children Of Light Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDDEFF| Our fathers wrung their bread from stocks and stones | A |
| And fenced their gardens with the Redmen's bones | A |
| Embarking from the Nether Land of Holland | B |
| Pilgrims unhouseled by Geneva's night | C |
| They planted here the Serpent's seeds of light | C |
| And here the pivoting searchlights probe to shock | D |
| The riotous glass houses built on rock | D |
| And candles gutter by an empty altar | E |
| And light is where the landless blood of Cain | F |
| Is burning burning the unburied grain | F |
