Niagara Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEFF| A ceaseless awful falling sea whose sound | A |
| Shakes earth and air and whose resistless stroke | B |
| Shoots high the volleying foam like cannon smoke | B |
| How dread and beautiful the floods when crowned | A |
| By moonbeams on their rushing ridge they bound | A |
| Into the darkness and the veiling spray | C |
| Or jewel hued and rainbow dyed when day | C |
| Lights the pale torture of the gulf profound | A |
| So poured the avenging streams upon the world | D |
| When swung the ark upon the deluge wave | E |
| And o'er each precipice in grandeur hurled | D |
| The endless torrents gave mankind a grave | E |
| God's voice is mighty on the water loud | F |
| Here as of old in thunder glory cloud | F |
