Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBCDEFEGHIH| A wrinkled crabbed man they picture thee | A |
| Old Winter with a rugged beard as grey | B |
| As the long moss upon the apple tree | A |
| Blue lipt an icedrop at thy sharp blue nose | C |
| Close muffled up and on thy dreary way | B |
| Plodding alone through sleet and drifting snows | C |
| They should have drawn thee by the high heapt hearth | D |
| Old Winter seated in thy great armed chair | E |
| Watching the children at their Christmas mirth | F |
| Or circled by them as thy lips declare | E |
| Some merry jest or tale of murder dire | G |
| Or troubled spirit that disturbs the night | H |
| Pausing at times to rouse the mouldering fire | I |
| Or taste the old October brown and bright | H |
