Longing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCD BBBBBBBLook westward o'er the steaming rain washed slopes | A |
Now satisfied with sunshine and behold | B |
Those lustrous clouds as glorious as our hopes | A |
Softened with feathery fleece of downy gold | B |
In all fantastic huddled shapes uprolled | B |
Floating like dreams and melting silently | C |
In the blue upper regions of pure sky | D |
- | |
The eye is filled with beauty and the heart | B |
Rejoiced with sense of life and peace renewed | B |
And yet at such an hour as this upstart | B |
Vague myriad longing restless unsubdued | B |
And causeless tears from melancholy mood | B |
Strange discontent with earth's and nature's best | B |
Desires and yearnings that may find no rest | B |
