An Old Man's Winter Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHAIJKLMNOPFQR STUVWXYJAll 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 |
