The Storm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDD EEFFGG HHIJKK| If as the winds and waters here below | A |
| Do fly and flow | A |
| My sighs and tears as busy were above | B |
| Sure they would move | C |
| And much affect thee as tempestuous times | D |
| Amaze poor mortals and object their crimes | D |
| - | |
| Stars have their storms ev'n in a high degree | E |
| As well as we | E |
| A throbbing conscience spurred by remorse | F |
| Hath a strange force | F |
| It quits the earth and mounting more and more | G |
| Dares to assault and besiege thy door | G |
| - | |
| There it stands knocking to thy musick's wrong | H |
| And drowns the song | H |
| Glory and honour are set by till it | I |
| An answer get | J |
| Poets have wrong'd poor storms such days are best | K |
| They purge the air without within the breast | K |
