Improvisations: Light And Snow: 12 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFIJKLMNKOPQK PRISKF| How many times have we been interrupted | A |
| Just as I was about to make up a story for you | B |
| One time it was because we suddenly saw a firefly | C |
| Lighting his green lantern among the boughs of a fir tree | D |
| Marvellous Marvellous He is making for himself | E |
| A little tent of light in the darkness | F |
| And one time it was because we saw a lilac lightning flash | G |
| Run wrinkling into the blue top of the mountain | H |
| We heard boulders of thunder rolling down upon us | F |
| And the plat plat of drops on the window | I |
| And we ran to watch the rain | J |
| Charging in wavering clouds across the long grass of the field | K |
| Or at other times it was because we saw a star | L |
| Slipping easily out of the sky and falling far off | M |
| Among pine dark hills | N |
| Or because we found a crimson eft | K |
| Darting in the cold grass | O |
| These things interrupted us and left us wondering | P |
| And the stories whatever they might have been | Q |
| Were never told | K |
| A fairy binding a daisy down and laughing | P |
| A golden haired princess caught in a cobweb | R |
| A love story of long ago | I |
| Some day just as we are beginning again | S |
| Just as we blow the first sweet note | K |
| Death itself will interrupt us | F |
