Winter Rainbow. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDCDCEFEFGHIH| Thou Winter thou art keen intensely keen | A |
| Thy cutting frowns experience bids me know | B |
| For in thy weather days and days I've been | C |
| As grinning north winds horribly did blow | B |
| And pepper'd round my head their hail and snow | B |
| Throughout thy reign 'tis mine each year to prove thee | D |
| And spite of every storm I've beetled in | C |
| With all thy insults Winter I do love thee | D |
| Thou half enchantress like to pictur'd Sin | C |
| Though many frowns thy sparing smiles deform | E |
| Yet when thy sunbeam shrinketh from its shroud | F |
| And thy bright rainbow gilds the purple storm | E |
| I look entranced on thy painted cloud | F |
| And what wild eye with nature's beauties charm'd | G |
| That hang enraptur'd o'er each 'witching spell | H |
| Can see thee Winter then and not be warm'd | I |
| To breathe thy praise and say I love thee well | H |
