Winter Rain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDCEFFGHH| Falling upon the frozen world last | A |
| I heard the slow beat of the Winter rain | B |
| Poor foolish drops down dripping all in vain | B |
| The ice bound Earth but mocked their puny might | C |
| Far better had the fixedness of white | C |
| And uncomplaining snows which make no sign | D |
| But coldly smile when pitying moonbeams shine | D |
| Concealed its sorrow from all human sight | C |
| Long long ago in blurred and burdened years | E |
| I learned the uselessness of uttered woe | F |
| Though sinewy Fate deals her most skilful blow | F |
| I do not waste the gall now of my tears | G |
| But feed my pride upon its bitter while | H |
| I look straight in the world's bold eyes and smile | H |
