The Storm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHIHIJKJK LMLMNONOPQPQ| Within the pale blue haze above | A |
| Some pitchy shreds took size and form | B |
| And like a madman's wrath or love | A |
| From nothing rose a sudden storm | B |
| The blossom'd limes which seem'd to exhale | C |
| Her breath were swept with one strong sweep | D |
| And up the dusty road the hail | C |
| Came like a flock of hasty sheep | D |
| Driving me under a cottage porch | E |
| Whence I could see the distant Spire | F |
| Which in the darkness seem'd a torch | E |
| Touch'd with the sun's retreating fire | G |
| A voice so sweet that even her voice | H |
| I thought could scarcely be more sweet | I |
| As thus I stay'd against my choice | H |
| Did mine attracted hearing greet | I |
| And presently I turn'd my head | J |
| Where the kind music seem'd to be | K |
| And where to an old blind man she read | J |
| The words that teach the blind to see | K |
| She did not mark me swift I went | L |
| Thro' the fierce shower's whistle and smoke | M |
| To her home and thence her woman sent | L |
| Back with umbrella shoes and cloak | M |
| The storm soon pass'd the sun's quick glare | N |
| Lay quench'd in vapour fleecy fray'd | O |
| And all the moist delicious air | N |
| Was fill'd with shine that cast no shade | O |
| And when she came forth the sun gleam'd | P |
| And clash'd the trembling Minster chimes | Q |
| And the breath with which she thank'd me seem'd | P |
| Brought thither from the blossom'd limes | Q |
