Contrasts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEAE FGGGGHAH GGIGJKLM| The 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 |
