The Wind Of Sorrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEFF| The fire of love was burning yet so low | A |
| That in the dark we scarce could see its rays | B |
| And in the light of perfect placid days | B |
| Nothing but smouldering embers dull and slow | A |
| Vainly for love's delight we sought to throw | A |
| New pleasures on the pyre to make it blaze | B |
| In life's calm air and tranquil prosperous ways | B |
| We missed the radiant heat of long ago | A |
| - | |
| Then in the night a night of sad alarms | C |
| Bitter with pain and black with fog of fears | D |
| That drove us trembling to each other's arms | C |
| Across the gulf of darkness and salt tears | E |
| Into life's calm the wind of sorrow came | F |
| And fanned the fire of love to clearest flame | F |
