Queens Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFFEGHIHIGJJCC| The red sun stared unwinking at the East | A |
| Then slept under a cloak of hodden gray | B |
| The rimy fields held the last light of day | B |
| A little tender yet And I remember | C |
| How black against the pale and wintry west | D |
| Stood the confused great army of old trees | E |
| Topping that lean enormous shouldered hill | F |
| With crossing lances shivering and then still | F |
| I looked as one that sees | E |
| Queens passing by and lovelier than he dreamed | G |
| With fringe of silver light following their feet | H |
| And all those lances vail'd and solemn Knights | I |
| Watching their Queens as with eyes grave and sweet | H |
| They left for the gray fields those airy heights | I |
| Nothing had lovelier seemed | G |
| Not April's noise nor the early dew of June | J |
| Nor the calm languid cow eyed Autumn Moon | J |
| Nor ruffling woods the greenest I remember | C |
| Than this pale light and dark of cold December | C |
