Improvisations: Light And Snow: 09 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGHGIABJKLMN| This girl gave her heart to me | A |
| And this and this | B |
| This one looked at me as if she loved me | A |
| And silently walked away | C |
| This one I saw once and loved and never saw her again | D |
| Shall I count them for you upon my fingers | E |
| Or like a priest solemnly sliding beads | F |
| Or pretend they are roses pale pink yellow and white | G |
| And arrange them for you in a wide bowl | H |
| To be set in sunlight | G |
| See how nicely it sounds as I count them for you | I |
| This girl gave her heart to me | A |
| And this and this | B |
| And nevertheless my heart breaks when I think of them | J |
| When I think their names | K |
| And how like leaves they have changed and blown | L |
| And will lie at last forgotten | M |
| Under the snow | N |
