Winter Heavens Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEED| Sharp is the night but stars with frost alive | A |
| Leap off the rim of earth across the dome | B |
| It is a night to make the heavens our home | B |
| More than the nest whereto apace we strive | A |
| Lengths down our road each fir tree seems a hive | A |
| In swarms outrushing from the golden comb | B |
| They waken waves of thoughts that burst to foam | B |
| The living throb in me the dead revive | A |
| Yon mantle clothes us there past mortal breath | C |
| Life glistens on the river of the death | C |
| It folds us flesh and dust and have we knelt | D |
| Or never knelt or eyed as kine the springs | E |
| Of radiance the radiance enrings | E |
| And this is the soul's haven to have felt | D |
