The Ghosts Of Growth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCE| Last night it snowed and Nature fell asleep | A |
| Forest and field lie tranced in gracious dreams | B |
| Of growth for ghosts of leaves long dead me seems | B |
| Hover about the boughs and wild winds sweep | A |
| O'er whitened fields full many a hoary heap | A |
| From the storm harvest mown by ice bound streams | B |
| With beauty of crushed clouds the cold earth teems | B |
| And winter a tranquil seeming truce would keep | A |
| - | |
| But such ethereal slumber may not bide | C |
| The ascending sun's bright scorn not long I fear | D |
| And all its visions on the golden tide | C |
| Of mid noon gliding off must disappear | D |
| Fair dreams farewell So in life's stir and pride | C |
| You fade and leave the treasure of a tear | E |
