December's Snow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EFEFDD GHGHDD IHIHDDThe bloom is on the May once more | A |
The chestnut buds have burst anew | B |
But darling all our springs are o'er | C |
'Tis winter still for me and you | B |
We plucked Life's blossoms long ago | D |
What's left is but December's snow | D |
- | |
But winter has its joys as fair | E |
The gentler joys aloof apart | F |
The snow may lie upon our hair | E |
But never darling in our heart | F |
Sweet were the springs of long ago | D |
But sweeter still December's snow | D |
- | |
Yes long ago and yet to me | G |
It seems a thing of yesterday | H |
The shade beneath the willow tree | G |
The word you looked but feared to say | H |
Ah when I learned to love you so | D |
What recked we of December's snow | D |
- | |
But swift the ruthless seasons sped | I |
And swifter still they speed away | H |
What though they bow the dainty head | I |
And fleck the raven hair with gray | H |
The boy and girl of long ago | D |
Are laughing through the veil of snow | D |
