Contrasts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEAE FGGGGHAH GGIGJKLM

The wind is roaring down the lakeA
The clear cold moon rides highB
The mountains crystal to their crestsC
Indent the starlit skyB
The wild sea beats my garden wallD
And all its peace transformsE
Dear Heart how different is the lakeA
When swept by Alpine stormsE
-
My soul to night is dark and sadF
From proofs of hate displayedG
From envy and rapacityG
And kindness ill repaidG
The baseness of humanityG
Hath spoiled a cherished dreamH
Dear Heart how different is the lakeA
When Evil reigns supremeH
-
The gale hath blown itself to restG
The sun turns all to goldG
Once more the crystal mountain sidesI
A waveless plain enfoldG
And some will laugh and lightly sayJ
The storm hath left no stainK
But in my park one perfect roseL
Will never bloom againM
