Emmonsail's Heath In Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCDCDEFFGH| I love to see the old heath's withered brake | A |
| Mingle its crimpled leaves with furze and ling | B |
| While the old heron from the lonely lake | A |
| Starts slow and flaps its melancholy wing | B |
| An oddling crow in idle motion swing | B |
| On the half rotten ash tree's topmost twig | C |
| Beside whose trunk the gypsy makes his bed | D |
| Up flies the bouncing woodcock from the brig | C |
| Where a black quagmire quakes beneath the tread | D |
| The fieldfares chatter in the whistling thorn | E |
| And for the haw round fields and closen rove | F |
| And coy bumbarrels twenty in a drove | F |
| Flit down the hedgerows in the frozen plain | G |
| And hang on little twigs and start again | H |
