Contrasts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEAE FGGGGHAH GGIGJKLMThe wind is roaring down the lake | A |
The clear cold moon rides high | B |
The mountains crystal to their crests | C |
Indent the starlit sky | B |
The wild sea beats my garden wall | D |
And all its peace transforms | E |
Dear Heart how different is the lake | A |
When swept by Alpine storms | E |
- | |
My soul to night is dark and sad | F |
From proofs of hate displayed | G |
From envy and rapacity | G |
And kindness ill repaid | G |
The baseness of humanity | G |
Hath spoiled a cherished dream | H |
Dear Heart how different is the lake | A |
When Evil reigns supreme | H |
- | |
The gale hath blown itself to rest | G |
The sun turns all to gold | G |
Once more the crystal mountain sides | I |
A waveless plain enfold | G |
And some will laugh and lightly say | J |
The storm hath left no stain | K |
But in my park one perfect rose | L |
Will never bloom again | M |
