Snow Storm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDABACEEFEFE GEGEEHIHHIIHEE| What a night The wind howls hisses and but stops | A |
| To howl more loud while the snow volley keeps | B |
| Incessant batter at the window pane | C |
| Making our comfort feel as sweet again | D |
| And in the morning when the tempest drops | A |
| At every cottage door mountainous heaps | B |
| Of snow lie drifted that all entrance stops | A |
| Untill the beesom and the shovel gain | C |
| The path and leave a wall on either side | E |
| The shepherd rambling valleys white and wide | E |
| With new sensations his old memory fills | F |
| When hedges left at night no more descried | E |
| Are turned to one white sweep of curving hills | F |
| And trees turned bushes half their bodies hide | E |
| - | |
| The boy that goes to fodder with surprise | G |
| Walks oer the gate he opened yesternight | E |
| The hedges all have vanished from his eyes | G |
| Een some tree tops the sheep could reach to bite | E |
| The novel scene emboldens new delight | E |
| And though with cautious steps his sports begin | H |
| He bolder shuffles the huge hills of snow | I |
| Till down he drops and plunges to the chin | H |
| And struggles much and oft escape to win | H |
| Then turns and laughs but dare not further go | I |
| For deep the grass and bushes lie below | I |
| Where little birds that soon at eve went in | H |
| With heads tucked in their wings now pine for day | E |
| And little feel boys oer their heads can stray | E |
