Miscellaneous Sonnets, 1842 - V - Continued Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABABBACDECDE

Who ponders National events shall findA
An awful balancing of loss and gainB
Joy based on sorrow good with ill combinedA
And proud deliverance issuing out of painB
And direful throes as if the All ruling MindA
With whose perfection it consists to ordainB
Volcanic burst earthquake and hurricaneB
Dealt in like sort with feeble human kindA
By laws immutable But woe for himC
Who thus deceived shall lend an eager handD
To social havoc Is not Conscience oursE
And Truth whose eye guilt only can make dimC
And Will whose office by divine commandD
Is to control and check disordered PowersE

William Wordsworth
