With The Wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBB AACDC AAEEE AAFFF AAGGG AAHHH| 'Twas when the wind was blowing from the billow breaking sea | A |
| The grey and stormy sea I heard her calling me | A |
| And in the woods and on the ways where leaves were whirling down | B |
| And weeds were rustling brown | B |
| I caught a glimpse of face and feet a glimmer of her gown | B |
| - | |
| And there between the forest and a strip of wandering sea | A |
| Of dark and dreaming sea I heard her laugh at me | A |
| And oh her voice was bugle wild as are the wind and rain | C |
| And drew my heart again | D |
| With all the lures of all the past and joy more keen than pain | C |
| - | |
| Upon a fir dark hilltop by the sunset jewelled sea | A |
| The old and wrinkled sea she shook her hair at me | A |
| And I caught a misty shimmer of her frosty gown and veil | E |
| And her hand waved rosy pale | E |
| And my heart was fain to follow her upon the old time trail | E |
| - | |
| Within a ferny hollow by the mermaid calling sea | A |
| The far and foaming sea she turned her face to me | A |
| Again I saw her beauty and again she held me fast | F |
| As she'd held me in the past | F |
| And let her wild heart beat to mine as beats the autumn blast | F |
| - | |
| Beside a rib of wreckage by the tempest haunted sea | A |
| The sad and severing sea she bade good bye to me | A |
| Oh paler than the foam her face and wilder than the night | G |
| When not a star gives light | G |
| And rain and wind and winter sweep like harpies from the height | G |
| - | |
| Oh she who joined her gipsy joy to sorrow of the sea | A |
| The gaunt and ghostly sea will come again to me | A |
| When Autumn leads the wild fowl home and lights like wandering gleams | H |
| The camp fires of her dreams | H |
| Again my heart shall hear her call upon the gale that streams | H |
