A Wintry Picture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACCACA| Now where the bare sky spans the landscape bare | A |
| Up long brown fallows creeps the slow brown team | B |
| Scattering the seed corn that must sleep and dream | B |
| Till by Spring's carillon awakened there | A |
| Ruffling the tangles of his thicket hair | A |
| The stripling yokel steadies now the beam | B |
| Now strides erect with cheeks that glow and gleam | B |
| And whistles shrewdly to the spacious air | A |
| Lured onward to the distance dim and blear | A |
| The road crawls weary of the travelled miles | C |
| The kine stand cowering in unmoving files | C |
| The shrewmouse rustles through the bracken sere | A |
| And in the sculptured woodland's leafless aisles | C |
| The robin chants the vespers of the year | A |
