Improvisations: Light And Snow: 11 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHHIJCE

As I walked through the lamplit gardensA
On the thin white crust of snowB
So intensely was I thinking of my misfortuneC
So clearly were my eyes fixedD
On the face of this grief which has come to meE
That I did not notice the beautiful pale colouringF
Of lamplight on the snowB
Nor the interlaced long blue shadows of treesG
And yet these things were thereH
And the white lamps and the orange lamps and the lamps of lilac were thereH
As I have seen them so often beforeI
As they will be so often againJ
Long after my grief is forgottenC
And still though I know this and say this it cannot console meE
