Winter Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP| My house is poor those that I love have left me | A |
| My body is sick I cannot join the feast | B |
| There is not a living soul before my eyes | C |
| As I lie alone locked in my cottage room | D |
| My broken lamp burns with a feeble flame | E |
| My tattered curtains are crooked and do not meet | F |
| 'Tsek tsek' on the door step and window sill | G |
| Again I hear the new snow fall | H |
| As I grow older gradually I sleep less | I |
| I wake at midnight and sit up straight in bed | J |
| If I had not learned the 'art of sitting and forgetting ' | K |
| How could I bear this utter loneliness | L |
| Stiff and stark my body cleaves to the earth | M |
| Unimpeded my soul yields to Change | N |
| So has it been for four hateful years | O |
| Through one thousand and three hundred nights | P |
