Miriam Tazewell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBBB CCCC DEEE BBBB| When Miriam Tazewell heard the tempest bursting | A |
| And his wrathy whips across the sky drawn crackling | A |
| She stuffed her ears for fright like a young thing | A |
| And with heart full of the flowers took to weeping | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| But the earth shook dry his old back in good season | B |
| He had weathered storms that drenched him deep as this one | B |
| And the sun Miriam ascended to his dominion | B |
| The storm was withered against his empyrean | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| After the storm she went forth with skirts kilted | C |
| To see in the hot sun her lawn deflowered | C |
| Her tulip iris peony strung and pelted | C |
| Pots of geranium spilled and the stalks naked | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| The spring transpired in that year with no flowers | D |
| But the regular stars went busily on their courses | E |
| Suppers and cards were calendared and some bridals | E |
| And the birds demurely sang in the bitten poplars | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| To Miriam Tazewell the whole world was villain | B |
| The principle of the beast was low and masculine | B |
| And not to unstop her own storm and be maudlin | B |
| For weeks she went untidy she went sullen | B |
