Improvisations: Light And Snow: 07 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFDGDHIJDKLMNOP| The day opens with the brown light of snowfall | A |
| And past the window snowflakes fall and fall | B |
| I sit in my chair all day and work and work | C |
| Measuring words against each other | D |
| I open the piano and play a tune | E |
| But find it does not say what I feel | F |
| I grow tired of measuring words against each other | D |
| I grow tired of these four walls | G |
| And I think of you who write me that you have just had a daughter | D |
| And named her after your first sweetheart | H |
| And you who break your heart far away | I |
| In the confusion and savagery of a long war | J |
| And you who worn by the bitterness of winter | D |
| Will soon go south | K |
| The snowflakes fall almost straight in the brown light | L |
| Past my window | M |
| And a sparrow finds refuge on my window ledge | N |
| This alone comes to me out of the world outside | O |
| As I measure word with word | P |
