In Memoriam A. H. H.: 15. To-night The Winds Begin To Rise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFE GHHG EIIE| To night the winds begin to rise | A |
| And roar from yonder dropping day | B |
| The last red leaf is whirl'd away | B |
| The rooks are blown about the skies | A |
| The forest crack'd the waters curl'd | C |
| The cattle huddled on the lea | D |
| And wildly dash'd on tower and tree | D |
| The sunbeam strikes along the world | C |
| And but for fancies which aver | E |
| That all thy motions gently pass | F |
| Athwart a plane of molten glass | F |
| I scarce could brook the strain and stir | E |
| - | |
| That makes the barren branches loud | G |
| And but for fear it is not so | H |
| The wild unrest that lives in woe | H |
| Would dote and pore on yonder cloud | G |
| - | |
| That rises upward always higher | E |
| And onward drags a labouring breast | I |
| And topples round the dreary west | I |
| A looming bastion fringed with fire | E |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
