Rhyme Scheme: A BCBBC DEDDE FGHFG IJIIJ

THUNDER BAY LAKE SUPERIORA
-
When did you sink to your dreamless sleepB
Out there in your thunder bedC
Where the tempests sweepB
And the waters leapB
And the storms rage overheadC
-
Were you lying there on your couch aloneD
Ere Egypt and Rome were bornE
Ere the Age of StoneD
Or the world had knownD
The Man with the Crown of ThornE
-
The winds screech down from the open westF
And the thunders beat and breakG
On the amethystH
Of your rugged breastF
But you never arise or wakeG
-
You have locked your past and you keep the keyI
In your heart 'neath the westing sunJ
Where the mighty seaI
And its shores will beI
Storm swept till the world is doneJ
