Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABCDBCD| The flute whence Summer's dreamy fingertips | A |
| Drew music ripening the pinched kernels in | B |
| The burly chestnut and the chinquapin | B |
| Red rounding out the oval haws and hips | A |
| Now Winter crushes to his stormy lips | A |
| And surly songs whistle around his chin | B |
| Now the wild days and wilder nights begin | B |
| When at the eaves the crooked icicle drips | A |
| Thy songs O Summer are not lost so soon | B |
| Still dwells a memory in thy hollow flute | C |
| Which unto Winter's masculine airs doth give | D |
| Thy own creative qualities of tune | B |
| Through which we see each bough bend white with fruit | C |
| Each bush with bloom in snow commemorative | D |
