Pray To What Earth Does This Sweet Cold Belong Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFGHIJKLGMNO| Pray to what earth does this sweet cold belong | A |
| Which asks no duties and no conscience | B |
| The moon goes up by leaps her cheerful path | C |
| In some far summer stratum of the sky | D |
| While stars with their cold shine bedot her way | E |
| The fields gleam mildly back upon the sky | D |
| And far and near upon the leafless shrubs | F |
| The snow dust still emits a silver light | G |
| Under the hedge where drift banks are their screen | H |
| The titmice now pursue their downy dreams | I |
| As often in the sweltering summer nights | J |
| The bee doth drop asleep in the flower cup | K |
| When evening overtakes him with his load | L |
| By the brooksides in the still genial night | G |
| The more adventurous wanderer may hear | M |
| The crystals shoot and form and winter slow | N |
| Increase his rule by gentlest summer means | O |
