Poetry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGG| Sometimes I tremble like a storm swept flower | A |
| And seek to hide my tortured soul from thee | B |
| Bowing my head in deep humility | B |
| Before the silent thunder of thy power | A |
| Sometimes I flee before thy blazing light | C |
| As from the specter of pursuing death | D |
| Intimidated lest thy mighty breath | D |
| Windways will sweep me into utter night | C |
| For oh I fear they will be swallowed up | E |
| The loves which are to me of vital worth | F |
| My passion and my pleasure in the earth | F |
| And lost forever in thy magic cup | E |
| I fear I fear my truly human heart | G |
| Will perish on the altar stone of art | G |
