Snow Storm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDABACEEFEFE GEGEEHIHHIIHEE

What a night The wind howls hisses and but stopsA
To howl more loud while the snow volley keepsB
Incessant batter at the window paneC
Making our comfort feel as sweet againD
And in the morning when the tempest dropsA
At every cottage door mountainous heapsB
Of snow lie drifted that all entrance stopsA
Untill the beesom and the shovel gainC
The path and leave a wall on either sideE
The shepherd rambling valleys white and wideE
With new sensations his old memory fillsF
When hedges left at night no more descriedE
Are turned to one white sweep of curving hillsF
And trees turned bushes half their bodies hideE
-
The boy that goes to fodder with surpriseG
Walks oer the gate he opened yesternightE
The hedges all have vanished from his eyesG
Een some tree tops the sheep could reach to biteE
The novel scene emboldens new delightE
And though with cautious steps his sports beginH
He bolder shuffles the huge hills of snowI
Till down he drops and plunges to the chinH
And struggles much and oft escape to winH
Then turns and laughs but dare not further goI
For deep the grass and bushes lie belowI
Where little birds that soon at eve went inH
With heads tucked in their wings now pine for dayE
And little feel boys oer their heads can strayE
