Winter Rain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFDE

Wild clouds roll up slag dark and slaty grayA
And in the oaks the sere wind sobs and sighsB
Weird as a word a man before he diesB
Mutters beneath his breath yet fears to sayA
The rain drives down and by each forest wayA
Each dead leaf drips and murmurings ariseB
As of fantastic footsteps one who fliesB
Whispering the dim eidolon of the dayA
-
Now is the wood a place where phantoms houseC
Around each tree wan ghosts of flowers crowdD
And spectres of sweet weeds that once were fairE
Rustling and through the bleakness of bare boughsF
A voice is heard now low now stormy loudD
As if the ghosts of all the leaves were thereE
