A January Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFE GHGH

The rain smites more and moreA
The east wind snarls and sneezesB
Through the joints of the quivering doorA
The water wheezesC
-
The tip of each ivy shootD
Writhes on its neighbour's faceE
There is some hid dread afootF
That we cannot traceE
-
Is it the spirit astrayG
Of the man at the house belowH
Whose coffin they took in to dayG
We do not knowH
