Perpetual Winter Never Known Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFAGH IJKLMNHOP| When the light falls on winter evenings | A |
| And the river makes no sound in its passing | B |
| Behind the house is silent but for its cold | C |
| Flowing its reeds frozen stiffer than glass | D |
| How can one anticipate the dawn a sudden | E |
| Blazing of sunlight thawing the harshest sky | F |
| How can one not remember summer evenings | A |
| Must not the tired heart sink and must not fear | G |
| Bite like an acid wrinkles in its stone | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| Behind drawn curtains gazing at the fire | I |
| Think how the earth spins dumb and bound | J |
| By iron chains of frost through death still air | K |
| And how in every street the sealed windows | L |
| And orange cubes of firelight how in houses | M |
| Cuckoo clocks imitate the spring candles are | N |
| Suns Perpetual winter never known | H |
| Families warm their hands and wait nor | O |
| Ever doubt the season's transience | P |
