The Broken Drouth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI HJHJ| It seemed the listening forest held its breath | A |
| Before some vague and unapparent form | B |
| Of fear approaching with the wings of death | A |
| On the impending storm | B |
| - | |
| Above the hills big bellying clouds loomed black | C |
| And ominous yet silent as the blue | D |
| That pools calm heights of heaven deepening back | C |
| 'Twixt clouds of snowdrift hue | D |
| - | |
| Then instantly as when a multitude | E |
| Shout riot and war through some tumultuous town | F |
| Innumerable voices swept the wood | G |
| As wild the wind rushed down | F |
| - | |
| And fierce and few as when a strong man weeps | H |
| Great rain drops dashed the dust and overhead | I |
| Ponderous and vast down the prodigious deeps | H |
| Went slow the thunder's tread | I |
| - | |
| And swift and furious as when giants fence | H |
| The lightning foils of tempest went insane | J |
| Then far and near sonorous Earth grew dense | H |
| With long sweet sweep of rain | J |
