East Wind. (the Winds) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCAADDEEFFGGHIEEJ JAKKAAIIILIILBLBLMM| Shouts and the noise of war | A |
| Far o'er the land hath been my flight | B |
| O'er many a forest dark as night | B |
| O'er champaigns where the Tartar speeds | C |
| O'er Wolga's wild and giant reeds | C |
| O'er the Carpathian summits hoar | A |
| Beneath whose snows and shadows frore | A |
| Poland's level length unfolds | D |
| Her trackless woods and wildering wolds | D |
| Like a spirit seeking rest | E |
| I have passed from east to west | E |
| While sounds of discord and lament | F |
| Rose from the earth where'er I went | F |
| I care not hurrying as in scorn | G |
| I shook my lance and blew my horn | G |
| The day shows clear and merrily | H |
| Along the Atlantic now I fly | I |
| Who comes in soft and spicy vest | E |
| From the mild regions of the West | E |
| An azure veil bends waving o'er his head | J |
| And showers of violets from his hands are shed | J |
| 'Tis Zephyr with a look as young and fair | A |
| As when his lucid wings conveyed | K |
| That beautiful and gentle maid | K |
| Psyche transported through the air | A |
| The blissful couch of Love's own god to share | A |
| Winter avaunt thy haggard eye | I |
| Will scare him as he wanders by | I |
| Him and the timid butterfly | I |
| He brings again the morn of May | L |
| The lark amid the clear blue sky | I |
| Carols but is not seen so high | I |
| And all the winter's winds fly far away | L |
| I cried O Father of the world whose might | B |
| The storm the darkness and the winds obey | L |
| Oh when will thus the long tempestuous night | B |
| Of warfare and of woe be rolled away | L |
| Oh when will cease the uproar and the din | M |
| And Peace breathe soft Summer is coming in | M |
