Fragment (loud Rage The Winds Without.'the Wintry Cloud) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHAAII JJKKLLIICCMN| Loud rage the winds without The wintry cloud | A |
| O'er the cold northstar casts her flitting shroud | A |
| And Silence pausing in some snow clad dale | B |
| Starts as she hears by fits the shrieking gale | B |
| Where now shut out from every still retreat | C |
| Her pine clad summit and her woodland seat | C |
| Shall Meditation in her saddest mood | D |
| Retire o'er all her pensive stores to brood | D |
| Shivering and blue the peasant eyes askance | E |
| The drifted fleeces that around him dance | E |
| And hurries on his half averted form | F |
| Stemming the fury of the sidelong storm | F |
| Him soon shall greet his snow topp'd cot of thatch | G |
| Soon shall his numb'd hand tremble on the latch | G |
| Soon from his chimney's nook the cheerful flame | H |
| Diffuse a genial warmth throughout his frame | H |
| Round the light fire while roars the north wind loud | A |
| What merry groups of vacant faces crowd | A |
| These hail his coming these his meal prepare | I |
| And boast in all that cot no lurking care | I |
| - | |
| What though the social circle be denied | J |
| Even Sadness brightens at her own fireside | J |
| Loves with fix'd eye to watch the fluttering blaze | K |
| While musing Memory dwells on former days | K |
| Or Hope bless'd spirit smiles and still forgiven | L |
| Forgets the passport while she points to Heaven | L |
| Then heap the fire shut out the biting air | I |
| And from its station wheel the easy chair | I |
| Thus fenced and warm in silent fit 'tis sweet | C |
| To hear without the bitter tempest beat | C |
| All all alone to sit and muse and sigh | M |
| The pensive tenant of obscurity | N |
