My Chapel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEF GHGHIJK BLBLMKMK| In idle dream with pipe in hand | A |
| I looked across the Square | B |
| And saw the little chapel stand | A |
| In eloquent despair | B |
| A ruin of the War it was | C |
| A dreary dingy mess | D |
| It worried me a lot because | E |
| My hobby's happiness | F |
| - | |
| The shabby Priest said 'You are kind | G |
| Time leaves us on the lurch | H |
| And there are very few who mind | G |
| Their duty to the Church | H |
| But with this precious sum you give | I |
| I'll make it like a gem | J |
| Poor folks will come our altar live | K |
| To comfort them ' | - |
| - | |
| So now my chapel of despair | B |
| Is full of joy and song | L |
| I watch the humble go to prayer | B |
| Although I don't belong | L |
| An artist and agnostic I | M |
| Possess but little pelf | K |
| But oh what blessings it can buy | M |
| Them and myself | K |
