To A Thunder-cloud Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACACDD| Oh melancholy fragment of the night | A |
| Drawing thy lazy web against the sun | B |
| Thou shouldst have waited till the day was done | B |
| With kindred glooms to build thy fane aright | A |
| Sublime amid the ruins of the light | A |
| But thus to shape our glories one by one | B |
| With fearful hands ere we had well begun | B |
| To look for shadows even in the bright | A |
| Yet may we charm a lesson from thy breast | A |
| A secret wisdom from thy folds of thunder | C |
| There is a wind that cometh from the west | A |
| Will rend thy tottering piles of gloom asunder | C |
| And fling thee ruinous along the grass | D |
| To sparkle on us as our footsteps pass | D |
