Dark Wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE| In the middle of the night waking I was aware | A |
| Of the Wind like one riding through black wastes of the air | A |
| Moodily riding ever faster he recked not where | A |
| - | |
| The windows rattled aloud a door clashed and sprang | B |
| And the ear in fear waited to feel the inert clang | B |
| Strike the shaken darkness a cruelty and a pang | B |
| - | |
| I was hurt with pity of things that have no will of their own | C |
| Lifted in lives of others and cast on bruising stone | C |
| I feared the Wind coming a power from worlds unknown | C |
| - | |
| It was like a great ship now abandoned her crew dead | D |
| Driving in gulfs of sky it staggered above and sped | D |
| I lay in the deeps and heard it rushing over my head | D |
| - | |
| And the helpless shaking of window and door's desolate rebound | E |
| Seemed like tossing and lifting of bodies lost and drowned | E |
| In the huge indifferent swell in the waters' wandering sound | E |
