Even The Winds And The Sea Obey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHIHIJFKF LMLM| Said the Poet I wouldn't maintain | A |
| As the mystical German has done | B |
| That the land inexistent till then | C |
| To reward him then first saw the sun | B |
| And yet I could deem it was so | D |
| As o'er the new waters he sailed | E |
| That his soul made the breezes to blow | D |
| With his courage the breezes had failed | E |
| His strong quiet purpose had still | F |
| The hurricane's fury withheld | G |
| The resolve of his conquering will | F |
| The lingering vessel impelled | G |
| For the beings the powers that range | H |
| In the air on the earth at our sides | I |
| Can modify temper and change | H |
| Stronger things than the winds and the tides | I |
| By forces occult can the laws | J |
| As we style them of nature o'errule | F |
| Can cause so to say every cause | K |
| And our best mathematics befool | F |
| Can defeat calculation and plan | L |
| Baffle schemes ne'er so wisely designed | M |
| But will bow to the genius of man | L |
| And acknowledge a sovereign mind | M |
