Winter-song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CCCC D EEFFG| Oh who would be sad tho' the sky be a graying | A |
| And meadow and woodlands are empty and bare | B |
| For softly and merrily now there come playing | A |
| The little white birds thro' the winter kissed air | B |
| - | |
| The squirrel's enjoying the rest of the thrifty | C |
| He munches his store in the old hollow tree | C |
| Tho' cold is the blast and the snow flakes are drifty | C |
| He fears the white flock not a whit more than we | C |
| - | |
| Chorus | D |
| - | |
| Then heigho for the flying snow | E |
| Over the whitened roads we go | E |
| With pulses that tingle | F |
| And sleigh bells a jingle | F |
| For winter's white birds here's a cheery heigho | G |
