The Storm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHAHA IGIGJKJL| I SEE the use and know my blood | A |
| Is not a sea | B |
| But a shallow bounded flood | A |
| Though red as he | B |
| Yet have I flows as strong as his | C |
| And boiling streams that rave | D |
| With the same curling force and hiss | E |
| As doth the mountain'd wave | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| But when his waters billow thus | F |
| Dark storms and wind | G |
| Incite them to that fierce discuss | F |
| Else not inclin'd | G |
| Thus the enlarg'd enrag d air | H |
| Uncalms these to a flood | A |
| But still the weather that's most fair | H |
| Breeds tempests in my blood | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| Lord then round me with weeping clouds | I |
| And let my mind | G |
| In quick blasts sigh beneath those shrouds | I |
| A spirit wind | G |
| So shall that storm purge this recluse | J |
| Which sinful ease made foul | K |
| And wind and water to Thy use | J |
| Both wash and wing my soul | L |
