Snowdrops Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDC EFGFHIJI| The Snowdrop Girl in fields of snowdrops walks | A |
| Whiter than foam deeper than waters flowing | B |
| Flakes of wild milk gone blowing | B |
| Snowing on cloudy stalks | A |
| The Snowdrop Girl goes picking flowers of snow | C |
| Blossoms of darkness bubbling into dreams | D |
| In a strange country by the shadowy streams | D |
| Where the cruel petals of the Coke tree grow | C |
| - | |
| From the smoke and the fume of the backyard room | E |
| Where poverty sits and gloats | F |
| On runaway feet from a dirty street | G |
| To a field of snow she floats | F |
| And tickets to Hell have a curious smell | H |
| And a dangerous crystal whiff | I |
| Where men hawk Death in a snowdrops s breath | J |
| At a couple of shillings a sniff | I |
