Rhyme Scheme: AABBAACCDDEEFFAAGGHI JKLLEG| DURING a heavy storm it chanced | A |
| That from his room a cockney glanced | A |
| At the fierce tempest as it broke | B |
| While to his neighbour thus he spoke | B |
| The thunder has our awe inspired | A |
| Our barns by lightning have been fired | A |
| Our sins to punish I suppose | C |
| But in return to soothe our woes | C |
| See how the rain in torrents fell | D |
| Making the harvest promise well | D |
| But it's a rainbow that I spy | E |
| Extending o'er the dark grey sky | E |
| With it I'm sure we may dispense | F |
| The colour'd cheat The vain pretence | F |
| Dame Iris straightway thus replied | A |
| Dost dare my beauty to deride | A |
| In realms of space God station'd me | G |
| A type of better worlds to be | G |
| To eyes that from life's sorrows rove | H |
| In cheerful hope to Heav'n above | I |
| And through the mists that hover here | J |
| God and his precepts blest revere | K |
| Do thou then grovel like the swine | L |
| And to the ground thy snout confine | L |
| But suffer the enlighten'd eye | E |
| To feast upon my majesty | G |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
