Brueghel's Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEBFBDBGB HCICJC| Jagg'd mountain peaks and skies ice green | A |
| Wall in the wild cold scene below | B |
| Churches farms bare copse the sea | C |
| In freezing quiet of winter show | B |
| Where ink black shapes on fields in flood | D |
| Curling skating and sliding go | B |
| To left a gabled tavern a blaze | E |
| Peasants a watching child and lo | B |
| Muffled mute beneath naked trees | F |
| In sharp perspective set a row | B |
| Trudge huntsmen sinister spears aslant | D |
| Dogs snuffling behind them in the snow | B |
| And arrowlike lean athwart the air | G |
| Swoops into space a crow | B |
| - | |
| But flame nor ice nor piercing rock | H |
| Nor silence as of a frozen sea | C |
| Nor that slant inward infinite line | I |
| Of signboard bird and hill and tree | C |
| Give more than subtle hint of him | J |
| Who squandered here life's mystery | C |
