December Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKBLMNOPQRS JLTU| Upon December's windy portico | A |
| The Old Year stood and looked out where the sun | B |
| Went wading down the West through drifting clouds | C |
| 'I too shall sink full soon to rest ' he sighed | D |
| 'And follow where my children's feet have trod | E |
| Brave January beauteous May and June | F |
| My lovely daughters and my valiant sons | G |
| All all save one have left me for that bourne | H |
| Men call the Past It seems but yesterday | I |
| I saw fair August laughing with the Sea | J |
| Snaring the Earth with her seductive wiles | K |
| And making conquest even of the Sun | B |
| Yet has she gone and left me here to mourn ' | L |
| Then spake December from an open door | M |
| 'Father the night grows cold come in and rest | N |
| Sit with me here beside this glowing grate | O |
| I have not left thee thou art not alone | P |
| My house is thine all warm with love and light | Q |
| And bright with holly and with cedar sweet | R |
| My stalwart arm is thine to lean upon | S |
| The feast is spread I only wait for thee | J |
| God smiles upon thy dead smile thou on me ' | L |
| Then through the open door the Old Year passed | T |
| And darkness settled on the outer world | U |
