Sudden Calm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE| There is a bellowing in me as of might | A |
| Unfleshed and visionless mangling the air | B |
| With horrible convulse as if it bare | B |
| The cruel weight of worlds but could not fight | A |
| With the thick dropping clods and could but bite | A |
| A vapour cloud Oh I will climb the stair | B |
| Of the great universe and lay me there | B |
| Even at the threshold of his gate despite | A |
| The tempest and the weakness and the rush | C |
| Of this quick crowding on me Oh I dream | D |
| Now I am sailing swiftly as we seem | D |
| To do in sleep and I can hear the gush | C |
| Of a melodious wave that carries me | E |
| On on for ever to eternity | E |
