Sonnet: - Viii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEFGHGEH| Above where I am sitting o'er these stones | A |
| The ocean waves once heaved their mighty forms | B |
| And vengeful tempests and appalling storms | B |
| Wrung from the stricken sea portentous moans | A |
| That rent stupendous icebergs whose huge heights | C |
| Crashed down in fragments through the startled nights | C |
| Change change eternal change in all but God | D |
| Mysterious nature thrice mysterious state | E |
| Of body soul and spirit Man is awed | F |
| But triumphs in his littleness A mote | G |
| He specks the eye of the age and turns to dust | H |
| And is the sport of centuries We note | G |
| More surely nature's ever changing fate | E |
| Her fossil records tell how she performs her trust | H |
