Summer And Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFF CCGGHHII| It was a bright and cheerful afternoon | A |
| Towards the end of the sunny month of June | A |
| When the north wind congregates in crowds | B |
| The floating mountains of the silver clouds | B |
| From the horizon and the stainless sky | C |
| Opens beyond them like eternity | D |
| All things rejoiced beneath the sun the weeds | E |
| The river and the corn fields and the reeds | E |
| The willow leaves that glanced in the light breeze | F |
| And the firm foliage of the larger trees | F |
| - | |
| It was a winter such as when birds die | C |
| In the deep forests and the fishes lie | C |
| Stiffened in the translucent ice which makes | G |
| Even the mud and slime of the warm lakes | G |
| A wrinkled clod as hard as brick and when | H |
| Among their children comfortable men | H |
| Gather about great fires and yet feel cold | I |
| Alas then for the homeless beggar old | I |
