The Snow Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEDE| Poor shape grotesque that careless hands have wrought | A |
| Frail wistful thing left gaping at the sun | B |
| With empty grin 'tis well no blood shall run | B |
| Within thy frozen veins no kindling thought | A |
| Light up those eyeless sockets wherein naught | A |
| But hate could dwell if once they flashed the fire | C |
| Of being or the doom gift of Desire | C |
| Should curse thy life unbidden and unsought | A |
| Poor snow man with thy tattered hat awry | D |
| And broomstick musket toppling from thy hands | E |
| 'Tis well thou hast no language to decry | D |
| Thy poor creator or his vain commands | E |
| No tear to shed that thou so soon must die | D |
| No voice to lift in prayer where no god understands | E |
