Winter Rhapsody Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDDE FGFGHEHHE IJIJKEKKE L LACMCJCM| Winter has come and tardily | A |
| Now little nipping winds are rife | B |
| Where laggard leaves on many a tree | C |
| Still cling tenaciously to life | B |
| Spent Autumn with a myriad hues | D |
| Had laughed at death and mocked the worm | E |
| And now bluff Winter shouts glad news | D |
| Of Winter joys which I refuse | D |
| I simply sit and squirm | E |
| - | |
| For Winter too holds many joys | F |
| Pert flappers furred to ears and chin | G |
| With painted lips to lure the boys | F |
| And hose that lets the breezes in | G |
| Go laughing by A gladness cleaves | H |
| E'en to yon toiler who with firm | E |
| Swift strokes sweeps up the fallen leaves | H |
| And working whistles No Man grieves | H |
| Save I who sit and squirm | E |
| - | |
| He whistles on in merry mood | I |
| And sweeps and sweeps along the street | J |
| 'How like all futile life ' I brood | I |
| Nought but frustration death defeat | J |
| For as he sweeps poor toiling hack | K |
| Sweeps up dead leaf and deadly germ | E |
| Rude winds arise and sweep them back | K |
| And all's to do again Alack | K |
| I sit and sneer and squirm | E |
| - | |
| I squirm to hear the football fans' | L |
| Impassioned cry of 'On the ball ' | - |
| Lure of the links the punter's plans | L |
| I squirm I squirm and scorn them all | A |
| I squirm while thrushes fluting free | C |
| Shout triumph over clammy care | M |
| Ah laggard leaf upon the tree | C |
| Squirm on and join my thenody | J |
| For Winter's only gift to me | C |
| Is woollen underwear | M |
