How Shall I Build Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBABA DEDEFG| How shall I build my temple to the Lord | A |
| Unworthy I who am thus foul of heart | B |
| How shall I worship who no traitor word | C |
| Know but of love to play a suppliant's part | B |
| How shall I pray whose soul is as a mart | B |
| For thoughts unclean whose tongue is as a sword | A |
| Even for those it loves to wound and smart | B |
| Behold how little I can help Thee Lord | A |
| - | |
| The Temple I would build should be all white | D |
| Each stone the record of a blameless day | E |
| The souls that entered there should walk in light | D |
| Clothed in high chastity and wisely gay | E |
| Lord here is darkness Yet this heart unwise | F |
| Bruised in Thy service take in sacrifice | G |
