The Shepherd Wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIK LMLM| When hills and plains are powdered white | A |
| And bitter cold the north wind blows | B |
| Upon my window in the night | A |
| A fairy garden grows | B |
| - | |
| Here poppies that no hand hath sown | C |
| Bloom white as foam upon the sea | D |
| And elfin bells to earth unknown | C |
| Hold frost bound melody | D |
| - | |
| And here are blossoms like to stars | E |
| Tangled in nets of silver lace | F |
| My very breath their beauty mars | E |
| Or stirs them from their place | F |
| - | |
| Perchance the echoes of old songs | G |
| Found here a resting place at last | H |
| With drifting perfume that belongs | G |
| To roses of the past | H |
| - | |
| Or all the moonbeams that were lost | I |
| On summer nights the world forgets | J |
| May here be prisoned by the frost | I |
| With souls of violets | K |
| - | |
| The wind doth shepherd many things | L |
| And when the nights are long and cold | M |
| Who knows how strange a flock he brings | L |
| All safely to the fold | M |
