A Winter Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFDGG| The winter wind is raving fierce and shrill | A |
| And chides with angry moan the frosty skies | B |
| The white stars gaze with sleepless Gorgon eyes | B |
| That freeze the earth in terror fixed and still | A |
| We reck not of the wild night's gloom and chill | A |
| Housed from its rage dear friend and fancy flies | B |
| Lured by the hand of beckoning memories | C |
| Back to those summer evenings on the hill | A |
| Where we together watched the sun go down | D |
| Beyond the gold washed uplands while his fires | E |
| Touched into glittering life the vanes and spires | F |
| Piercing the purpling mists that veiled the town | D |
| The wintry night thy voice and eyes beguile | G |
| Till wake the sleeping summers in thy smile | G |
