The Storm. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEDEFFGHGHIIJK JKLLAMAMJJNONOPQRSRS TT| I can hear the great boughs swing | A |
| Through the stormy night | B |
| Each a dryad haunted thing | A |
| With its dark delight | B |
| As within an old world air | C |
| When the Gods were everywhere | C |
| All the wood seems to be up | D |
| At some eerie play | E |
| Wild as Bacchanals whose sup | D |
| Had all through the day | E |
| Been a deep one as they roar | F |
| With the waves upon the shore | F |
| 'Tis in sooth as Pan too mad | G |
| For fair Syrinx fled | H |
| Had from Hades come and had | G |
| Brought with him the dead | H |
| Who of old had worshipped him | I |
| To a midnight revel grim | I |
| Or is it that Syrinx too | J |
| From the reed restored | K |
| Romps it as the satyrs do | J |
| With her now loved lord | K |
| And is this the night of nights | L |
| And are these their marriage rites | L |
| Who shall say The great boughs swing | A |
| As Time in a whirl | M |
| Did to the dark forest bring | A |
| The goat god and his girl | M |
| With the earth enamoured crew | J |
| For a mystic hour or two | J |
| Till amid the tumult I | N |
| Fall asleep like one | O |
| Who had put the ages by | N |
| In a dream begun | O |
| Far back in another sphere | P |
| Ere my 'wildered soul came here | Q |
| Ah the dream that may indeed | R |
| Outlive all I know | S |
| When like one whom Fate has freed | R |
| I through Hades go | S |
| And see the great vision cast | T |
| On the future by the past | T |
