The Beam Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCACCD ECFGCED AHCICHD| The dead white on the fields' dead white | A |
| Turned the peace to misery | B |
| Tall bony trees their wild arms thrust | C |
| Into the cold breast of the night | A |
| Brightly the stars shone in their dust | C |
| The hard wind's gust | C |
| Scratched like a bird the frozen snow | D |
| - | |
| Against the dead light grew the gold | E |
| Lifting its beam to that high dust | C |
| The lamp within the hut's small pane | F |
| Called the world to life again | G |
| Arms of the trees atremble thrust | C |
| Defiance at the cold | E |
| Night of narrow shrouding snow | D |
| - | |
| A human beam small spear of light | A |
| Lifting its beauty to that high | H |
| Indifference of starry dust | C |
| The aching trees were comforted | I |
| And their brave arms more deeply thrust | C |
| Into the sky | H |
| Earth's warm light fingered the dead snow | D |
