Winter. (the Winds) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDBDEFEFGHIIJJKL KLMN| Spirit of unwearied wing | A |
| From the Baltic's frozen main | B |
| From the Russ's bleak domain | B |
| Say what tidings dost thou bring | A |
| Shouts and the noise of battle and again | C |
| The winged wind blew loud a deadly blast | D |
| Shouts and the noise of battle the long main | B |
| Seemed with hoarse voice to answer as he passed | D |
| The moody South went by and silence kept | E |
| The cloudy rack oft hid his mournful mien | F |
| And frequent fell the showers as if he wept | E |
| The eternal havoc of this mortal scene | F |
| He had heard the yell and cry | G |
| And howling dance of Anarchy | H |
| Where the Rhone with rushing flood | I |
| Murmured to the main through blood | I |
| He seemed to wish he could for ever throw | J |
| His misty mantle o'er a world of woe | J |
| But rousing him from his desponding trance | K |
| Cold Eurus blew his sharp and shrilling horn | L |
| In his right hand he bore an icy lance | K |
| That far off glittered in the frost of morn | L |
| The old man knew the clarion from afar | M |
| What from the East he cried | N |
