The Snow-storm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKKLKMJNOPN QMRSTUMV| Announced by all the trumpets of the sky | A |
| Arrives the snow and driving o'er the fields | B |
| Seems nowhere to alight the whited air | C |
| Hides hill and woods the river and the heaven | D |
| And veils the farmhouse at the garden's end | E |
| The sled and traveller stopped the courier's feet | F |
| Delated all friends shut out the housemates sit | G |
| Around the radiant fireplace enclosed | H |
| In a tumultuous privacy of storm | I |
| Come see the north wind's masonry | J |
| Out of an unseen quarry evermore | K |
| Furnished with tile the fierce artificer | K |
| Curves his white bastions with projected roof | L |
| Round every windward stake or tree or door | K |
| Speeding the myriad handed his wild work | M |
| So fanciful so savage nought cares he | J |
| For number or proportion Mockingly | N |
| On coop or kennel he hangs Parian wreaths | O |
| A swan like form invests the hiddden thorn | P |
| Fills up the famer's lane from wall to wall | N |
| Maugre the farmer's sighs and at the gate | Q |
| A tapering turret overtops the work | M |
| And when his hours are numbered and the world | R |
| Is all his own retiring as he were not | S |
| Leaves when the sun appears astonished Art | T |
| To mimic in slow structures stone by stone | U |
| Built in an age the mad wind's night work | M |
| The frolic architecture of the snow | V |
