Modern Love Xxiii: 'tis Christmas Weather Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEEDFGGFFFFF| 'Tis Christmas weather and a country house | A |
| Receives us rooms are full we can but get | B |
| An attic crib Such lovers will not fret | B |
| At that it is half said The great carouse | C |
| Knocks hard upon the midnight's hollow door | D |
| But when I knock at hers I see the pit | E |
| Why did I come here in that dullard fit | E |
| I enter and lie couched upon the floor | D |
| Passing I caught the coverlet's quick beat | F |
| Come Shame burn to my soul and Pride and Pain | G |
| Foul demons that have tortured me enchain | G |
| Out in the freezing darkness the lambs bleat | F |
| The small bird stiffens in the low starlight | F |
| I know not how but shuddering as I slept | F |
| I dreamed a banished angel to me crept | F |
| My feet were nourished on her breasts all night | F |
