The Wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDDEFEFGGHHIICJKI CCFFLMJJ| Night comes upon the earth and fearfully | A |
| Arise the mighty winds and sweep along | B |
| In the full chorus of their midnight song | B |
| The waste of heavy clouds that veil the sky | C |
| Roll like a murky scroll before them driven | D |
| And show faint glimpses of a darker heaven | D |
| No ray is there of moon or pale eyed star | E |
| Darkness is on the universe save where | F |
| The western sky lies glimmering faint and far | E |
| With day's red embers dimly glowing there | F |
| Hark how the wind comes gathering in its course | G |
| And sweeping onward with resistless force | G |
| Howls through the silent space of starless skies | H |
| And on the breast of the swol'n ocean dies | H |
| Oh though art terrible thou viewless power | I |
| That rid'st destroying at the midnight hour | I |
| We hear thy mighty pinion but the eye | C |
| Knows nothing of thine awful majesty | J |
| We see all mute creation bow before | K |
| Thy viewless wings as thou careerest o'er | I |
| This rocking world that in the boundless sky | C |
| Suspended vibrates as thou rushest by | C |
| There is no terror in the lightning's glare | F |
| That breaks its red track through the trackless air | F |
| There is no terror in the voice that speaks | L |
| From out the clouds when the loud thunder breaks | M |
| Over the earth like that which dwells in thee | J |
| Thou unseen tenant of immensity | J |
