Earlier Poems : Woods In Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF DGDG HCHC IJKJ LMNM| When winter winds are piercing chill | A |
| And through the hawthorn blows the gale | B |
| With solemn feet I tread the hill | A |
| That overbrows the lonely vale | B |
| - | |
| O'er the bare upland and away | C |
| Through the long reach of desert woods | D |
| The embracing sunbeams chastely play | C |
| And gladden these deep solitudes | D |
| - | |
| Where twisted round the barren oak | E |
| The summer vine in beauty clung | F |
| And summer winds the stillness broke | E |
| The crystal icicle is hung | F |
| - | |
| Where from their frozen urns mute springs | D |
| Pour out the river's gradual tide | G |
| Shrilly the skater's iron rings | D |
| And voices fill the woodland side | G |
| - | |
| Alas how changed from the fair scene | H |
| When birds sang out their mellow lay | C |
| And winds were soft and woods were green | H |
| And the song ceased not with the day | C |
| - | |
| But still wild music is abroad | I |
| Pale desert woods within your crowd | J |
| And gathering winds in hoarse accord | K |
| Amid the vocal reeds pipe loud | J |
| - | |
| Chill airs and wintry winds my ear | L |
| Has grown familiar with your song | M |
| I hear it in the opening year | N |
| I listen and it cheers me long | M |
