The Elements Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDEF| I saw the spirit of the pines that spoke | A |
| With spirits of the ocean and the storm | B |
| Against the tumult rose its tattered form | B |
| Wild rain and darkness round it like a cloak | A |
| Fearful it stood limbed like some twisted oak | A |
| Gesticulating with one giant arm | C |
| Raised as in protest of the night's alarm | C |
| Defiant still of some impending stroke | A |
| Below it awful in its majesty | D |
| The spirit of the deep with rushing locks | E |
| Raved and above it lightning clad and shod | F |
| Thundered the tempest Thus they stood the three | D |
| Terror around them while upon the rocks | E |
| Destruction danced mocking at man and God | F |
