Before The Snow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH HJHJ| Autumn is gone through the blue woodlands bare | A |
| Shatters the windy rain A thousand leaves | B |
| Like birds that fly the mournful Northern air | A |
| Flutter away from the old forest's eaves | B |
| - | |
| Autumn is gone as yonder silent rill | C |
| Slow eddying o'er thick leaf heaps lately shed | D |
| My spirit as I walk moves awed and still | C |
| By thronging fancies wild and wistful led | D |
| - | |
| Autumn is gone alas how long ago | E |
| The grapes were plucked and garnered was the grain | F |
| How soon death settles on us and the snow | E |
| Wraps with its white alike our graves our gain | F |
| - | |
| Yea autumn's gone Yet it robs not my mood | G |
| Of that which makes moods dear some shoot of spring | H |
| Still sweet within me or thoughts of yonder wood | I |
| We walked in memory's rare environing | H |
| - | |
| And though they die the seasons only take | H |
| A ruined substance All that's best remains | J |
| In the essential vision that can make | H |
| One light for life love death their joys their pains | J |
