Unseasonable Snows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCDC| The leaves have not yet gone then why do ye come | A |
| O white flakes falling from a dusky cloud | B |
| But yesterday my garden plot was proud | B |
| With uncut sheaves of ripe chrysanthemum | A |
| Some trees the winds have stripped but look on some | A |
| 'Neath double load of snow and foliage bowed | B |
| Unnatural winter fashioning a shroud | B |
| For Autumn's burial ere its pulse be numb | A |
| Yet Nature plays not an inhuman part | C |
| In her our own vicissitudes we trace | D |
| Do we not cling to our accustomed place | D |
| Though journeying Death have beckoned us to start | C |
| And faded smiles oft linger in the face | D |
| While grief's first flakes fall silent on the heart | C |
