January Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| WHILE yet the air is keen and no bird sings | A |
| Nor any vaguest thrills of heart declare | B |
| The presence of the springtime in the air | B |
| Through the raw dawn the shepherd homeward brings | A |
| The wee white lambs the little helpless things | A |
| For shelter warmth and comfortable care | B |
| Without his help how hardly lambs would fare | B |
| How hardly live through winter's hours to spring's | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| So let me tend and minister apart | C |
| To my new hope which some day you shall know | D |
| It could not live in January wind | E |
| Of your disdain but when within your heart | C |
| The bud and bloom of tenderness shall grow | D |
| Amid the flowers my hope may welcome find | E |
