When The Wind Storms By With A Shout Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA CCDDC| When the wind storms by with a shout and the stern sea caves | A |
| Rejoice in the tramp and the roar of onsetting waves | A |
| Then then it comes home to the heart that the top of life | B |
| Is the passion that burns the blood in the act of strife | B |
| Till you pity the dead down there in their quiet graves | A |
| - | |
| But to drowse with the fen behind and the fog before | C |
| When the rain rot spreads and a tame sea mumbles the shore | C |
| Not to adventure none to fight no right and no wrong | D |
| Sons of the Sword heart sick for a stave of your sire's old song | D |
| O you envy the blessed death that can live no more | C |
