Late Snow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBB CDED CACA FGHG| The heavy train through the dim country went rolling rolling | A |
| Interminably passing misty snow covered plough land ridges | B |
| That merged in the snowy sky came turning meadows fences | B |
| Came gullies and passed and ice coloured streams under frozen bridges | B |
| - | |
| Across the travelling landscape evenly drooped and lifted | C |
| The telegraph wires thick ropes of snow in the windless air | D |
| They drooped and paused and lifted again to unseen summits | E |
| Drawing the eyes and soothing them often to a drowsy stare | D |
| - | |
| Singly in the snow the ghosts of trees were softly pencilled | C |
| Fainter and fainter in distance fading into nothingness gliding | A |
| But sometimes a crowd of the intricate silver trees of fairyland | C |
| Passed close and intensely clear the phantom world hiding | A |
| - | |
| O untroubled these moving mantled miles of shadowless shadows | F |
| And lovely the film of falling flakes so wayward and slack | G |
| But I thought of many a mother bird screening her nestlings | H |
| Sitting silent with wide bright eyes snow on her back | G |
