Winter Memories Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFFGFHIJKLFBMNOP QRLSLTUVWX| Within the circuit of this plodding life | A |
| There enter moments of an azure hue | B |
| Untarnished fair as is the violet | C |
| Or anemone when the spring stew them | D |
| By some meandering rivulet which make | E |
| The best philosophy untrue that aims | F |
| But to console man for his grievences | F |
| I have remembered when the winter came | G |
| High in my chamber in the frosty nights | F |
| When in the still light of the cheerful moon | H |
| On the every twig and rail and jutting spout | I |
| The icy spears were adding to their length | J |
| Against the arrows of the coming sun | K |
| How in the shimmering noon of winter past | L |
| Some unrecorded beam slanted across | F |
| The upland pastures where the Johnwort grew | B |
| Or heard amid the verdure of my mind | M |
| The bee's long smothered hum on the blue flag | N |
| Loitering amidst the mead or busy rill | O |
| Which now through all its course stands still and dumb | P |
| Its own memorial purling at its play | Q |
| Along the slopes and through the meadows next | R |
| Until its youthful sound was hushed at last | L |
| In the staid current of the lowland stream | S |
| Or seen the furrows shine but late upturned | L |
| And where the fieldfare followed in the rear | T |
| When all the fields around lay bound and hoar | U |
| Beneath a thick integument of snow | V |
| So by God's cheap economy made rich | W |
| To go upon my winter's task again | X |
