Winter At St Andrews Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC ABABBCBC ABABBCBC BCB| The city once again doth wear | A |
| Her wonted dress of winter's bride | B |
| Her mantle woven of misty air | A |
| With saffron sunlight faintly dyed | B |
| She sits above the seething tide | B |
| Of all her summer robes forlorn | C |
| And dead is all her summer pride | B |
| The leaves are off Queen Mary's Thorn | C |

| All round the landscape stretches bare | A |
| The bleak fields lying far and wide | B |
| Monotonous with here and there | A |
| A lone tree on a lone hillside | B |
| No more the land is glorified | B |
| With golden gleams of ripening corn | C |
| Scarce is a cheerful hue descried | B |
| The leaves are off Queen Mary's Thorn | C |
| - | |
| For me I do not greatly care | A |
| Though leaves be dead and mists abide | B |
| To me the place is thrice as fair | A |
| In winter as in summer tide | B |
| With kindlier memories allied | B |
| Of pleasure past and pain o'erworn | C |
| What care I though the earth may hide | B |
| The leaves from off Queen Mary's Thorn | C |
| - | |
| Thus I unto my friend replied | B |
| When on a chill late autumn morn | C |
| He pointed to the tree and cried | B |
| The leaves are off Queen Mary's Thorn ' | - |
