After The Interval Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HGIG JKJK LGMG| About three months ago when first | A |
| Upon our open unprotected | B |
| And freezing garden snowstorms burst | A |
| In sudden fury I reflected | C |
| - | |
| That I would shut myself away | D |
| And in seclusion write a section | E |
| Of winter poems day by day | D |
| To supplement my spring collection | E |
| - | |
| But nonsense piled up mountain high | F |
| Like snow drifts hindering and stifling | G |
| And half the winter had gone by | F |
| Against all hopes in petty trifling | G |
| - | |
| I understood alas too late | H |
| Why winter while the snow was falling | G |
| Piercing the darkness with its flakes | I |
| From outside at my house was calling | G |
| - | |
| And while with numb white frozen lips | J |
| It whispered urging me to hurry | K |
| I sharpened pencils played with clips | J |
| Made feeble jokes and did not worry | K |
| - | |
| While at my desk I dawdled on | L |
| By lamp light on an early morning | G |
| The winter had appeared and gone | M |
| A wasted and unheeded warning | G |
