Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GCGC| When winter chills your aged bones | A |
| As by the fire you sit and nod | B |
| You'll hear a passing wind that moans | A |
| And think of one beneath the sod | B |
| - | |
| You'll feebly sleek your hair of grey | C |
| And mutter words that none may know | D |
| And dream you touch the sodden clay | C |
| That laps the dream of long ago | D |
| - | |
| The shrinking ash may fall apart | E |
| And show a gleam that lingers yet | F |
| A moment in your cooling heart | E |
| May shine a sparkle of regret | F |
| - | |
| And where the pit is chill and deep | G |
| And bones are mouldering in the clay | C |
| A thrill of buried love will creep | G |
| And shudder aimlessly away | C |
