The Cross Of Snow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBBCBBCB| In the long sleepless watches of the night | A |
| A gentle face the face of one long dead | B |
| Looks at me from the wall where round its head | B |
| The night lamp casts a halo of pale light | A |
| Here in this room she died and soul more white | A |
| Never through martyrdom of fire was led | B |
| To its repose nor can in books be read | B |
| The legend of a life more benedight | B |
| There is a mountain in the distant West | B |
| That sun defying in its deep ravines | C |
| Displays a cross of snow upon its side | B |
| Such is the cross I wear upon my breast | B |
| These eighteen years through all the changing scenes | C |
| And seasons changeless since the day she died | B |
