Sonnet. Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCCDADACC| The frozen ground looks gray 'Twill shut the snow | A |
| Out from its bosom and the flakes will fall | B |
| Softly and lie upon it The hushed flow | A |
| Of the ice covered waters and the call | B |
| Of the cold driver to his oxen slow | A |
| And the complaining of the gust are all | B |
| That I can hear of music would that I | C |
| With the green summer like a leaf might die | C |
| So will a man grow gray and on his head | D |
| The snow of years lie visibly and so | A |
| Will come a frost when his green years have fled | D |
| And his chilled pulses sluggishly will flow | A |
| And his deep voice be shaken would that I | C |
| In the green summer of my youth might die | C |
