A Storm In Summer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST NUVIWXYZ| Nature that day a woman was in weakness | A |
| A woman in her impotent high wrath | B |
| At the dawn we watched it a low cloud half seen | C |
| Under the sun an innocent child's face | D |
| It seemed to us rose red and fringed with light | E |
| Boding no hurt a pure translucent cloud | F |
| Deep in the East where the Sun's disk began | G |
| We did not guess what strengths in it were pent | H |
| What terrors of rebellion An hour more | I |
| And it had gathered volume and the form | J |
| Of a dark mask the she wolf's of old Rome | K |
| The ears the brow the cold unpitying eyes | L |
| Through which gleams flashed And as we watched the roll | M |
| Of thunder from a red throat muttering | N |
| Gave menace of the wild beast close at hand | O |
| Anon a wall of darkness in the South | P |
| Black to the Zenith and a far off wail | Q |
| The wind among the trees And then behold | R |
| Flying before it a mad clamorous rout | S |
| Of peewits starlings hawks crows dishwashers | T |
| Blackbirds and jays by hundreds scattering | N |
| While the Earth trembled holding as it were its breath | U |
| Till suddenly an answer from the ground | V |
| And the fields shook and a new mighty roar | I |
| Crashed through the oaks and in a pent up flow | W |
| The storm's rage broke in thunder overhead | X |
| And all the anger of the passionate heaven | Y |
| Burst into tears | Z |
