A Wintry Picture (ii) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEEDED| Now in the woodlands from the creaking boughs | A |
| The last sere leaves are loosened and unstrung | B |
| Where once the tender honeysuckle clung | B |
| And the fond mavis fluted to his spouse | C |
| Already dreaming of her winter drowse | C |
| And brooding dimly on her unborn young | B |
| The dormouse rakes the beechmast and among | B |
| The matted roots the moldwarp paws and ploughs | C |
| Over the furrows brown and pastures grey | D |
| The melancholy plovers flap and 'plain | E |
| And along shivering pool and sodden lane | E |
| As lower droop the lids of dying day | D |
| Like to a disembodied soul in pain | E |
| The homeless wind goes wailing all the way | D |
