My New-cut Ashlar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI JKJK ILIL| My New Cut ashlar takes the light | A |
| Where crimson blank the windows flare | B |
| By my own work before the night | A |
| Great Overseer I make my prayer | B |
| - | |
| If there be good in that I wrought | C |
| Thy Hand compelled it Master Thine | D |
| Where I have failed to meet Thy Thought | C |
| I know through Thee the blame was mine | D |
| - | |
| The depth and dream of my desire | E |
| The bitter paths wherein I stray | F |
| Thou knowest Who hast made the Fire | E |
| Thou knowest Who hast made the Clay | F |
| - | |
| Who lest all thought of Eden fade | G |
| Bring'st Eden to the craftsman's brain | H |
| Godlike to muse o'er his own Trade | G |
| And manlike stand with God again | I |
| - | |
| One stone the more swings into place | J |
| In that dread Temple of Thy worth | K |
| It is enough that through Thy Grace | J |
| I saw nought common on Thy Earth | K |
| - | |
| Take not that vision from my ken | I |
| Oh whatsoe'er may spoil or speed | L |
| Help me to need no aid from men | I |
| That I may help such men as need | L |
