A Thunderstorm At Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAAACDCDCD| The lightning is the shorthand of the storm | A |
| That tells of chaos and I read the same | B |
| As one may read the writing of a name | B |
| As one in Hell may see the sudden form | A |
| Of God's fore finger pointed as in blame | B |
| How weird the scene The Dark is sulphur warm | A |
| With hints of death and in their vault enorme | A |
| The reeling stars coagulate in flame | A |
| And now the torrents from their mountain beds | C |
| Roar down uncheck'd and serpents shaped of mist | D |
| Writhe up to Heaven with unforbidden heads | C |
| And thunder clouds whose lightnings intertwist | D |
| Rack all the sky and tear it into shreds | C |
| And shake the air like Titians that have kiss'd | D |
