December Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBC DEDEFGFG CHCHCICI| While snow the window panes bedim | A |
| The fire curls up a sunny charm | A |
| Where creaming o'er the pitcher's rim | A |
| The flowering ale is set to warm | A |
| Mirth full of joy as summer bees | B |
| Sits there its pleasures to impart | C |
| And children 'tween their parent's knees | B |
| Sing scraps of carols o'er by heart | C |
| - | |
| And some to view the winter weathers | D |
| Climb up the window seat with glee | E |
| Likening the snow to falling feathers | D |
| In fancy infant ecstasy | E |
| Laughing with superstitious love | F |
| O'er visions wild that youth supplies | G |
| Of people pulling geese above | F |
| And keeping Christmas in the skies | G |
| - | |
| As tho' the homestead trees were drest | C |
| In lieu of snow with dancing leaves | H |
| As tho' the sun dried martin's nest | C |
| Instead of ickles hung the eaves | H |
| The children hail the happy day | C |
| As if the snow were April's grass | I |
| And pleas'd as 'neath the warmth of May | C |
| Sport o'er the water froze as glass | I |
