Mid-winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEFDFE| All day the clouds hung ashen with the cold | A |
| And through the snow the muffled waters fell | B |
| The day seemed drowned in grief too deep to tell | B |
| Like some old hermit whose last bead is told | A |
| At eve the wind woke and the snow clouds rolled | A |
| Aside to leave the fierce sky visible | C |
| Harsh as an iron landscape of wan hell | B |
| The dark hills hung framed in with gloomy gold | A |
| And then towards night the wind seemed some one at | D |
| My window wailing now a little child | E |
| Crying outside my door and now the long | F |
| Howl of some starved beast down the flue I sat | D |
| And knew 'twas Winter with his madman song | F |
| Of miseries on which he stared and smiled | E |
