That Night It Rained Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEFGHIJAKLMNEOG JPPGQRL| That night it rained the tide was high | A |
| A heavy grey fog covered all the coast | B |
| The breakers barked like dogs the waves | C |
| Joined their black sobs to the weeping of the sky | A |
| Infinity shook and in its urn mixed up | D |
| The dark whirlings of the nocturnal abyss | E |
| The night's mouths seemed to roar in the air | F |
| I heard the warning cannon by the sea | G |
| Sailors in danger calling for help | H |
| In the shade where blast followed blast | I |
| Without pilot without mast without anchor or shelter | J |
| Some lost vessel let out its last cry | A |
| I left An old woman passing by troubled | K |
| Told me 'It perished It's a little fishing boat | L |
| I ran to the sea side and only saw a shroud | M |
| Of fog and of night and of horror and me alone | N |
| And the wave turning its face to the abyss | E |
| As if to send away a witness to its crime | O |
| Furious begin to howl after me | G |
| - | |
| What are you then jealous God God of testing and terror | J |
| God of collapses of gulfs of storms | P |
| That you are not happy with so many shipwrecks | P |
| That after swallowing so many strong and mighty | G |
| You still have time left for the ordinary man | Q |
| That upon the least forehead your arm leaves its mark | R |
| And that even after France you still needed that boat | L |
