The White Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG IBJI KLMK NOON IPPI QRRQ| From gray bleak hills 'neath steely skies | A |
| Thro' beards of ice the forests roar | B |
| Along the river's humming shore | B |
| The skimming skater bird like flies | A |
| - | |
| On windy meads where wave white breaks | C |
| Where fettered briers' glist'ning hands | D |
| Reach to the cold moon's ghastly lands | D |
| Hoots the lorn owl and crouching quakes | C |
| - | |
| With frowsy snow blanched is the world | E |
| Stiff sweeps the wind thro' murmuring pines | F |
| Then fiend like deep entangled whines | F |
| Thro' the dead oak that vagrant twirled | E |
| - | |
| Phantoms the cliff o'er the wild wold | G |
| Ghost vested willows rim the stream | H |
| Low hang lank limbs where in a dream | H |
| The houseless hare leaps o'er the cold | G |
| - | |
| On snow tressed crags that twinkling flash | I |
| Like champions mailed for clanking war | B |
| Glares down large Phosphor's quiv'ring star | J |
| Where teeth of foam the fierce seas gnash | I |
| - | |
| Slim o'er the tree tops weighed with white | K |
| The country church's spire doth swell | L |
| A scintillating icicle | M |
| While fitfully the village light | K |
| - | |
| In sallow stars stabs the gray dark | N |
| Homeward the creaking wagons strain | O |
| Thro' knee deep drifts the steeple's vane | O |
| A flitting ghost whirls in its sark | N |
| - | |
| Down from the flaky North with clash | I |
| Swathed in his beard of flashing sleet | P |
| With steeds of winds that jangling beat | P |
| Life from the world and roaring dash | I |
| - | |
| Loud Winter ruddy as a rose | Q |
| Blown by the June's mild musky lips | R |
| The high moon dims her horn that dips | R |
| And fold on fold roll down the snows | Q |
