To The West Wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHIJDJD| O West how fragrant breathes thy gentle air | A |
| Spikenard and aloes on thy pinions glide | B |
| Thou blow'st from spicy chambers not from there | A |
| Where angry winds and tempests fierce abide | B |
| As on a bird's wings thou dost waft me home | C |
| Sweet as a bundle of rich myrrh to me | D |
| And after thee yearn all the throngs that roam | C |
| And furrow with light keel the rolling sea | D |
| Desert her not our ship bide with her oft | E |
| When the day sinks and in the morning light | F |
| Smooth thou the deeps and make the billows soft | G |
| Nor rest save at our goal the sacred height | F |
| Chide thou the East that chafes the raging flood | H |
| And swells the towering surges wild and rude | I |
| What can I do the elements' poor slave | J |
| Now do they hold me fast now leave me free | D |
| Cling to the Lord my soul for He will save | J |
| Who caused the mountains and the winds to be | D |
