Miscellaneous Sonnets, 1842 - V - Continued Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABBACDECDEWho ponders National events shall find | A |
An awful balancing of loss and gain | B |
Joy based on sorrow good with ill combined | A |
And proud deliverance issuing out of pain | B |
And direful throes as if the All ruling Mind | A |
With whose perfection it consists to ordain | B |
Volcanic burst earthquake and hurricane | B |
Dealt in like sort with feeble human kind | A |
By laws immutable But woe for him | C |
Who thus deceived shall lend an eager hand | D |
To social havoc Is not Conscience ours | E |
And Truth whose eye guilt only can make dim | C |
And Will whose office by divine command | D |
Is to control and check disordered Powers | E |
William Wordsworth
