Tempest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDAEAE| You saw perched on a cliff a maid | A |
| Her raiment white above the breakers | B |
| When the mad sea reared up and played | A |
| Its whips of spray on coastal acres | B |
| And now and then the lightnings flush | C |
| And purple gleams upon her hover | D |
| And fluttering up in swirling rush | C |
| The wind rides in her airy cover | D |
| Fair is the sea in gales arrayed | A |
| The heavens drained of blue and flashing | E |
| But fairer on her cliff the maid | A |
| Than storms and skies and breakers crashing | E |
