A Snow Storm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFA GHIH JGKG LMNM OPBP QRSR TUVU WXYX ABZB NA2B2A2| I hear the wintry wind again | A |
| I see the blinding snow | B |
| Pil'd high by eddying winds in heaps | C |
| No matter where I go | B |
| - | |
| The storm is raging hard without | D |
| But let us not complain | E |
| For fiercely tho' it rages now | F |
| A calm will come again | A |
| - | |
| And though the wildly raging storm | G |
| Makes all things bleak and bare | H |
| Beside the fire we brave it well | I |
| And closer draw our chair | H |
| - | |
| In social fellowship our hearts | J |
| With kindly thoughts grow warm | G |
| Then is there not a pleasant side | K |
| E'en to a raging storm | G |
| - | |
| And when the angry storm has calm'd | L |
| As ev'ry storm must do | M |
| Then sure the tempest's handiwork | N |
| Has pleasant features too | M |
| - | |
| An artist's eye would look around | O |
| Upon these calmer days | P |
| And view the pure white heaps of snow | B |
| With pleas'd and puzzl'd gaze | P |
| - | |
| Like purest marble deftly carv'd | Q |
| They stretch o'er vale and hill | R |
| Fair monuments not made by man | S |
| But rear'd by nature's skill | R |
| - | |
| The sweeping curve the graceful arch | T |
| The line so firm and free | U |
| A skilful sculptor well might say | V |
| Can this teach aught to me | U |
| - | |
| The trees are rob'd in purest white | W |
| And gleaming atoms shine | X |
| From out the snow beneath the sun | Y |
| Like stones from Ophir's mine | X |
| - | |
| The merry shouts of busy men | A |
| Sound as they dig the snow | B |
| And when the way is clear the bells | Z |
| With joyful jingle go | B |
| - | |
| Then who shall say the tempest's work | N |
| Brings more of pain than joy | A2 |
| Or that the evil things to us | B2 |
| Are pain without alloy | A2 |
