Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDF GHGH IJKJ LMLM NOOO DPQR

Winter nears Once moreA
the bear s secret retreatB
will vanish under mud s floorA
to a child s fretful griefC
-
-
Huts will wake in the waterD
reflecting paths of smokeE
circled by autumn s tremorD
lovers meet by the fire to talkF
-
-
Denizens of the harsh NorthG
whose roof is the clear airH
In this sign conquer set forthG
marks each unreachable lairH
-
I love you provincial hauntsI
off the map the road past the farmsJ
the more tired and faded the bookK
the greater for me its charmsJ
-
Slow files of carts lumbering byL
you spell out an alphabet flowingM
from meadow to meadow And IL
found you always my favourite readingM
-
And it s suddenly written againN
here in first snow is the spider sO
cursive script runners of sleighsO
where ice on the page embroidersO
-
A silvered hazel OctoberD
Pewter glow since frost beganP
Autumn twilight of ChekhovQ
Tchaikovsky and LevitanR
