In Memory Of Jane Fraser Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIJI| When snow like sheep lay in the fold | A |
| And wind went begging at each door | B |
| And the far hills were blue with cold | A |
| And a cloud shroud lay on the moor | C |
| - | |
| She kept the siege And every day | D |
| We watched her brooding over death | E |
| Like a strong bird above its prey | D |
| The room filled with the kettle's breath | E |
| - | |
| Damp curtains glued against the pane | F |
| Sealed time away Her body froze | G |
| As if to freeze us all and chain | F |
| Creation to a stunned repose | G |
| - | |
| She died before the world could stir | H |
| In March the ice unloosed the brook | I |
| And water ruffled the sun's hair | J |
| Dead cones upon the alder shook | I |
