Wind At Midnight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDC EFGFHIHIHI| Naked night black elms pallid and streaming sky | A |
| Alone with the passion of the Wind | B |
| In a hollow of stormy sound lost and alone am I | A |
| On beaten earth a lost unmated mind | B |
| Marvelling at the stars few strange and bright | C |
| That all this dark assault of surging air | D |
| Wrenching the rooted wood hunting the cloud of night | C |
| As if it would tear all and nothing spare | D |
| Leaves supreme in the height | C |
| - | |
| Against what laws what laws what powers invisible | E |
| Unsought yet always found | F |
| Cries this dumb passion strains this wrestle of wild will | G |
| With tiger leaps that seem to shake the ground | F |
| Is it the baffled homeless rebel wind's crying | H |
| Or storm from a profounder passion wrung | I |
| Ah heart of man is it you the old powers defying | H |
| By far desires and terrible beauty stung | I |
| Broken on laws unseen in a starry world dying | H |
| Ignorant tameless young | I |
