Sense Of Something Coming Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIJK L

I am like a flag in the center of open spaceA
I sense ahead the wind which is coming and must liveB
it throughC
while the things of the world still do not moveD
the doors still close softly and the chimneys are fullE
of silenceF
the windows do not rattle yet and the dust still lies downG
-
I already know the storm and I am troubled as the seaH
I leap out and fall backI
and throw myself out and am absolutely aloneJ
in the great stormK
