Frost-bitten Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB AAAA CADA EAAA FGAG HIJI| We were driving home from the Patriarchs' | A |
| Molly Lef vre and I you know | B |
| The white flakes fluttered about our lamps | A |
| Our wheels were hushed in the sleeping snow | B |
| - | |
| Her white arms nestled amid her furs | A |
| Her hands half held with languid grace | A |
| Her fading roses fair to see | A |
| Was the dreamy look in her sweet young face | A |
| - | |
| I watched her saying never a word | C |
| For I would not waken those dreaming eyes | A |
| The breath of the roses filled the air | D |
| And my thoughts were many and far from wise | A |
| - | |
| At last I said to her bending near | E |
| Ah Molly Lef vre how sweet 'twould be | A |
| To ride on dreaming all our lives | A |
| Alone with the roses you and me | A |
| - | |
| Her sweet lips faltered her sweet eyes fell | F |
| And low as the voice of a Summer rill | G |
| Her answer came It was Yes perhaps | A |
| But who would settle our carriage bill | G |
| - | |
| The dying roses breathed their last | H |
| Our wheels rolled loud on the stones just then | I |
| Where the snow had drifted the subject dropped | J |
| It has never been taken up again | I |
