Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDAEFFEEF| How large that thrush looks on the bare thorn tree | A |
| A swarm of such three little months ago | B |
| Had hidden in the leaves and let none know | B |
| Save by the outburst of their minstrelsy | C |
| A white flake here and there a snow lily | A |
| Of last night's frost our naked flower beds hold | D |
| And for a rose flower on the darkling mould | D |
| The hungry redbreast gleams No bloom no bee | A |
| The current shudders to its ice bound sedge | E |
| Nipped in their bath the stark reeds one by one | F |
| Flash each its clinging diamond in the sun | F |
| 'Neath winds which for this winter's sovereign pledge | E |
| Shall curb great king masts to the ocean's edge | E |
| And leave memorial forest kings o'erthrown | F |
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
