The North Wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAABBACDCCCEFGF HIJJCKKCCCCL MCNC BCOC PCQC R

That wind is from the North I know it wellA
No other breeze could have so wild a swellA
Now deep and loud it thunders round my cellA
The faintly diesB
And softly sighsB
And moans and murmurs mournfullyA
I know its language thus is speaks to meC
'I have passed over thy own mountains dearD
Thy northern mountains and they still are freeC
Still lonely wild majestic bleak and drearC
And stern and lovely as they used to beC
When thou a young enthusiastE
As wild and free as theyF
O'er rocks and glens and snowy heightsG
Didst often love to strayF
-
I've blown the wild untrodden snowsH
In whirling eddies from their browsI
And I have howled in caverns wildJ
Where thou a joyous mountain childJ
Didst dearly love to beC
The sweet world is not changed but thouK
Art pining in a dungeon nowK
Where thou must ever beC
No voice but mine can reach thine earC
And Heaven has kindly sent me hereC
To mourn and sigh with theeC
And tell thee of the cherished landL
Of thy nativity '-
-
Blow on wild wind thy solemn voiceM
However sad and drearC
Is nothing to the gloomy silenceN
I have had to bearC
-
Hot tears are streaming from my eyesB
But these are better farC
Than that dull gnawing tearless timeO
The stupor of despairC
-
Confined and hopeless as I amP
O speak of libertyC
O tell me of my mountain homeQ
And I will welcome theeC
