Storm-racked Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| How should I sing when buffeting salt waves | A |
| And stung with bitter surges in whose might | B |
| I toss a cockleshell The dreadful night | B |
| Marshals its undefeated dark and raves | A |
| In brutal madness reeling over graves | A |
| Of vanquished men long sunken out of sight | B |
| Sent wailing down to glut the ghoulish sprite | B |
| Who haunts foul seaweed forests and their caves | A |
| No parting cloud reveals a watery star | C |
| My cries are washed away upon the wind | D |
| My cramped and blistering hands can find no spar | C |
| My eyes with hope o'erstrained are growing blind | D |
| But painted on the sky great visions burn | E |
| My voice oblation from a shattered urn | E |
