A Winter's Tale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED AFAF| Yesterday the fields were only grey with scattered snow | A |
| And now the longest grass leaves hardly emerge | B |
| Yet her deep footsteps mark the snow and go | A |
| On towards the pines at the hills' white verge | B |
| - | |
| I cannot see her since the mist's white scarf | C |
| Obscures the dark wood and the dull orange sky | D |
| But she's waiting I know impatient and cold half | E |
| Sobs struggling into her frosty sigh | D |
| - | |
| Why does she come so promptly when she must know | A |
| That she's only the nearer to the inevitable farewell | F |
| The hill is steep on the snow my steps are slow | A |
| Why does she come when she knows what I have to tell | F |
