A Calendar Of Sonnets: February Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDDC| Still lie the sheltering snows undimmed and white | A |
| And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still | B |
| No sign of spring save that the catkins fill | B |
| And willow stems grow daily red and bright | A |
| These are days when ancients held a rite | A |
| Of expiation for the old year's ill | B |
| And prayer to purify the new year's will | B |
| Fit days ere yet the spring rains blur the sight | A |
| Ere yet the bounding blood grows hot with haste | C |
| And dreaming thoughts grow heavy with a greed | D |
| The ardent summer's joy to have and taste | C |
| Fit days to give to last year's losses heed | D |
| To recon clear the new life's sterner need | D |
| Fit days for Feast of Expiation placed | C |
