A Calendar Of Sonnets: December Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECED| The lakes of ice gleam bluer than the lakes | A |
| Of water 'neath the summer sunshine gleamed | B |
| Far fairer than when placidly it streamed | B |
| The brook its frozen architecture makes | A |
| And under bridges white its swift way takes | A |
| Snow comes and goes as messenger who dreamed | B |
| Might linger on the road or one who deemed | B |
| His message hostile gently for their sakes | A |
| Who listened might reveal it by degrees | C |
| We gird against the cold of winter wind | D |
| Our loins now with mighty bands of sleep | E |
| In longest darkest nights take rest and ease | C |
| And every shortening day as shadows creep | E |
| O'er the brief noontide fresh surprises find | D |
