Schoolboys In Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABACACCDCD| The schoolboys still their morning ramble take | A |
| To neighboring village school with playing speed | B |
| Loitering with passtime's leisure till they quake | A |
| Oft looking up the wild geese droves to heed | B |
| Watching the letters which their journeys make | A |
| Or plucking haws on which their fieldfares feed | B |
| And hips and sloes and on each shallow lake | A |
| Making glib slides where they like shadows go | C |
| Till some fresh passtimes in their minds awake | A |
| Then off they start anew and hasty blow | C |
| Their numbed and clumpsing fingers till they glow | C |
| Then races with their shadows wildly run | D |
| That stride huge giants o'er the shining snow | C |
| In the pale splendour of the winter sun | D |
