A Wintry Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDCDCEFFGEG| A Robin said The Spring will never come | A |
| And I shall never care to build again | B |
| A Rosebush said These frosts are wearisome | A |
| My sap will never stir for sun or rain | C |
| The half Moon said These nights are fogged and slow | D |
| I neither care to wax nor care to wane | C |
| The Ocean said I thirst from long ago | D |
| Because earth's rivers cannot fill the main | C |
| When Springtime came red Robin built a nest | E |
| And trilled a lover's song in sheer delight | F |
| Grey hoarfrost vanished and the Rose with might | F |
| Clothed her in leaves and buds of crimson core | G |
| The dim Moon brightened Ocean sunned his crest | E |
| Dimpled his blue yet thirsted evermore | G |
