Why East Wind Chills Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JKLMNO PQCBRRSTIRK| Why east wind chills and south wind cools | A |
| Shall not be known till windwell dries | B |
| And west's no longer drowned | C |
| In winds that bring the fruit and rind | D |
| Of many a hundred falls | E |
| Why silk is soft and the stone wounds | F |
| The child shall question all his days | G |
| Why night time rain and the breast's blood | H |
| Both quench his thirst he'll have a black reply | I |
| - | |
| When cometh Jack Frost the children ask | J |
| Shall they clasp a comet in their fists | K |
| Not till from high and low their dust | L |
| Sprinkles in children's eyes a long last sleep | M |
| And dusk is crowded with the children's ghosts | N |
| Shall a white answer echo from the rooftops | O |
| - | |
| All things are known the stars' advice | P |
| Calls some content to travel with the winds | Q |
| Though what the stars ask as they round | C |
| Time upon time the towers of the skies | B |
| Is heard but little till the stars go out | R |
| I hear content and 'Be Content' | R |
| Ring like a handbell through the corridors | S |
| And 'Know no answer ' and I know | T |
| No answer to the children's cry | I |
| Of echo's answer and the man of frost | R |
| And ghostly comets over the raised fists | K |
