Snow-buntings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GDGD| They come fluttering helpless to the ground | A |
| Like wreaths of wind caught snow | B |
| Uttering a plaintive chirping sound | A |
| And rise and fall and know not where they go | B |
| - | |
| So small they are with feathers ruffled blown | C |
| Adrift between earth desolate and leaden sky | D |
| Nor have they ever known | C |
| Any but frozen earth and scudding clouds on high | D |
| - | |
| What hand doth guide these hapless creatures small | E |
| To sweet seeds that the withered grasses hold | F |
| The little children of men go hungry all | E |
| And stiffen and cry with numbing cold | F |
| - | |
| In a sudden gust the flock are whirled away | G |
| Uttering a frightened chirping cry | D |
| And are lost like a wraith of departing day | G |
| Adrift between earth desolate and leaden sky | D |
