Delight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFE FGFGEHIH AFAFJHFH| Winter is fallen | A |
| On the wretched grass | B |
| Dark winds have stolen | A |
| All the colour that was | C |
| No leaf shivers | D |
| The bare boughs bend and creak as the wind moans by | E |
| Fled is the fitful gleam of brightness | F |
| From the stooping sky | E |
| - | |
| A robin scatters | F |
| Like bright rain his song | G |
| Of merry matters | F |
| The sparrows gossip long | G |
| Snow in the sky | E |
| Lingers soon to cover the world with white | H |
| And hush the slender enchanting music | I |
| And chill the delight | H |
| - | |
| But snow new fallen | A |
| On the stiffened grass | F |
| Gives back beauty stolen | A |
| By the winds as they pass | F |
| Turns the climbing hedge | J |
| Into a gleaming ladder of frozen light | H |
| And hark in the cold enchanted silence | F |
| A cry of delight | H |
