An Old Man's Winter Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHAIJKLMNOPFQR STUVWXYJ| All out of doors looked darkly in at him | A |
| Through the thin frost almost in separate stars | B |
| That gathers on the pane in empty rooms | C |
| What kept his eyes from giving back the gaze | D |
| Was the lamp tilted near them in his hand | E |
| What kept him from remembering what it was | F |
| That brought him to that creaking room was age | G |
| He stood with barrels round him at a loss | H |
| And having scared the cellar under him | A |
| In clomping there he scared it once again | I |
| In clomping off and scared the outer night | J |
| Which has its sounds familiar like the roar | K |
| Of trees and crack of branches common things | L |
| But nothing so like beating on a box | M |
| A light he was to no one but himself | N |
| Where now he sat concerned with he knew what | O |
| A quiet light and then not even that | P |
| He consigned to the moon such as she was | F |
| So late arising to the broken moon | Q |
| As better than the sun in any case | R |
| For such a charge his snow upon the roof | S |
| His icicles along the wall to keep | T |
| And slept The log that shifted with a jolt | U |
| Once in the stove disturbed him and he shifted | V |
| And eased his heavy breathing but still slept | W |
| One aged man one man can't keep a house | X |
| A farm a countryside or if he can | Y |
| It's thus he does it of a winter night | J |
