Improvisations: Light And Snow: 10 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJAAJKLMNO| It is night time and cold and snow is falling | A |
| And no wind grieves the walls | B |
| In the small world of light around the arc lamp | C |
| A swarm of snowflakes falls and falls | B |
| The street grows silent The last stranger passes | D |
| The sound of his feet in the snow is indistinct | E |
| What forgotten sadness is it on a night like this | F |
| Takes possession of my heart | G |
| Why do I think of a camellia tree in a southern garden | H |
| With pink blossoms among dark leaves | I |
| Standing surprised in the snow | J |
| Why do I think of spring | A |
| The snowflakes helplessly veering | A |
| Fall silently past my window | J |
| They come from darkness and enter darkness | K |
| What is it in my heart is surprised and bewildered | L |
| Like that camellia tree | M |
| Beautiful still in its glittering anguish | N |
| And spring so far away | O |
