Misgivings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACC DEDEFGG| When ocean clouds over inland hills | A |
| Sweep storming in late autumn brown | B |
| And horror the sodden valley fills | A |
| And the spire falls crashing in the town | B |
| I muse upon my country's ills | A |
| The tempest burning from the waste of Time | C |
| On the world's fairest hope linked with man's foulest crime | C |
| - | |
| Nature's dark side is heeded now | D |
| Ah optimist cheer dishartened flown | E |
| A child may read the moody brow | D |
| Of yon black mountain lone | E |
| With shouts the torrents down the gorges go | F |
| And storms are formed behind the storms we feel | G |
| The hemlock shakes in the rafter the oak in the driving keel | G |
