Sonnet (what Art Thou, Mighty One! And Where Thy Seat?) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCECECFF| What art thou Mighty One and where thy seat | A |
| Thou broodest on the calm that cheers the lands | B |
| And thou dost bear within thine awful hands | B |
| The rolling thunders and the lightnings fleet | A |
| Stern on thy dark wrought car of cloud and wind | C |
| Thou guidest the northern storm at night's dead noon | D |
| Or on the red wing of the fierce monsoon | D |
| Disturb'st the sleeping giant of the Ind | C |
| In the drear silence of the polar span | E |
| Dost thou repose or in the solitude | C |
| Of sultry tracts where the lone caravan | E |
| Hears nightly howl the tiger's hungry brood | C |
| Vain thought the confines of his throne to trace | F |
| Who glows through all the fields of boundless space | F |
