Inspiration. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJKLKMNON JPQP| There's a wind that sweeps through the day and night | A |
| And like the lightning goes | B |
| But none have heard the sound of its wings | C |
| And none know whither it blows | B |
| But where'er it comes the thoughts of men | D |
| Are like clouds together hurled | E |
| As they are carried with mystic speed | F |
| Over the crazy world | E |
| We see no waving of leafy boughs | G |
| Nor heave of the purple sea | H |
| When this wind its fiercest blows the Earth | I |
| May be still as the dead men be | H |
| But the spirit feels its fiery breath | J |
| And the souls of men are stirr'd | K |
| As o'er the mesmeric lines of life | L |
| Is flashed the magic word | K |
| The gale from the Spirit land blows in | M |
| And they who feel it glow | N |
| With an ecstasy and ardour like | O |
| The seers of long ago | N |
| The vital and inspiring breath | J |
| With which ideas are sown | P |
| Like visioned seeds in the mystic soil | Q |
| Where the spirit flowers are grown | P |
