Sonnet: The Winter Traveller Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEAFGGFHH| God help thee Traveller on thy journey far | A |
| The wind is bitter keen the snow o'erlays | B |
| The hidden pits and dangerous hollow ways | B |
| And darkness will involve thee No kind star | A |
| To night will guide thee Traveller and the war | C |
| Of winds and elements on thy head will break | D |
| And in thy agonizing ear the shriek | E |
| Of spirits howling on their stormy car | A |
| Will often ring appalling I portend | F |
| A dismal night and on my wakeful bed | G |
| Thoughts Traveller of thee will fill my head | G |
| And him who rides where winds and waves contend | F |
| And strives rude cradled on the seas to guide | H |
| His lonely bark through the tempestuous tide | H |
