A Winter Eden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EFGG HHII JJKK| A winter garden in an alder swamp | A |
| Where conies now come out to sun and romp | A |
| As near a paradise as it can be | B |
| And not melt snow or start a dormant tree | B |
| - | |
| It lifts existence on a plane of snow | C |
| One level higher than the earth below | C |
| One level nearer heaven overhead | D |
| And last year's berries shining scarlet red | D |
| - | |
| It lifts a gaunt luxuriating beast | E |
| Where he can stretch and hold his highest feat | F |
| On some wild apple tree's young tender bark | G |
| What well may prove the year's high girdle mark | G |
| - | |
| So near to paradise all pairing ends | H |
| Here loveless birds now flock as winter friends | H |
| Content with bud inspecting They presume | I |
| To say which buds are leaf and which are bloom | I |
| - | |
| A feather hammer gives a double knock | J |
| This Eden day is done at two o'clock | J |
| An hour of winter day might seem too short | K |
| To make it worth life's while to wake and sport | K |
