Fire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCCB DEDEFF| In each black tile a mimic fire's aglow | A |
| And in the hearthlight old mahogany | B |
| Ripe with stored sunshine that in Mexico | A |
| Poured like gold wine into the living tree | B |
| Summer on summer through a century | B |
| Burns like a crater in the heart of night | C |
| And all familiar things in the ingle light | C |
| Glow with a secret strange intensity | B |
| - | |
| And I remember hidden fires that burst | D |
| Suddenly from the midnight while men slept | E |
| Long smouldering rages in the darkness nursed | D |
| That to an instant ravening fury leapt | E |
| And the old terror menacing evermore | F |
| A crumbling world with fiery molten core | F |
