Longing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCD BBBBBBB| Look 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 |
