Fire Of Snow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBA ADEDAE| Pale fire of snow had lit the dusk for me | A |
| Astray with mind half consciously intent | B |
| I had not thought the wood so imminent | C |
| Pregnant with pine and sombre cypress tree | A |
| Darker than sleep and mute with mystery | A |
| Like far off death where questing dreams are spent | B |
| Their winding caverns deepened as I went | B |
| Therein and paused in old expectancy | A |
| - | |
| Pale fire of snow had lit the dusk for me | A |
| But the black stillness held where once the wind | D |
| Had parted boughs in music that the gleam | E |
| Of stars might enter all was strangely blind | D |
| Like midnight thickening 'neath the middle sea | A |
| Filled with the silence of a time slain dream | E |
