To One Coming North Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHJ| At first you'll joy to see the playful snow | A |
| Like white moths trembling on the tropic air | B |
| Or waters of the hills that softly flow | A |
| Gracefully falling down a shining stair | B |
| - | |
| And when the fields and streets are covered white | C |
| And the wind worried void is chilly raw | D |
| Or underneath a spell of heat and light | C |
| The cheerless frozen spots begin to thaw | E |
| - | |
| Like me you'll long for home where birds' glad song | F |
| Means flowering lanes and leas and spaces dry | G |
| And tender thoughts and feelings fine and strong | F |
| Beneath a vivid silver flecked blue sky | G |
| - | |
| But oh more than the changeless southern isles | H |
| When Spring has shed upon the earth her charm | I |
| You'll love the Northland wreathed in golden smiles | H |
| By the miraculous sun turned glad and warm | J |
