Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDB EFGHGF GIJJII IIIIKI IILLMI KNOOONWinter is fallen early | A |
On the house of Stare | B |
Birds in reverberating flocks | C |
Haunt its ancestral box | C |
Bright are the plenteous berries | D |
In clusters in the air | B |
- | |
- | |
Still is the fountain s music | E |
The dark pool icy still | F |
Whereupon a small and sanguine sun | G |
Floats in a mirror on | H |
Into a West of crimson | G |
From a South of daffodil | F |
- | |
- | |
Tis strange to see young children | G |
In such a wintry house | I |
Like rabbits on the frozen snow | J |
Their tell tale footprints go | J |
Their laughter rings like timbrels | I |
Neath evening ominous | I |
- | |
- | |
Their small and heightened faces | I |
Like wine red winter buds | I |
Their frolic bodies gentle as | I |
Flakes in the air that pass | I |
Frail as the twirling petal | K |
From the briar of the woods | I |
- | |
- | |
Above them silence lours | I |
Still as an arctic sea | I |
Light fails night falls the wintry moon | L |
Glitters the crocus soon | L |
Will open grey and distracted | M |
On earth s austerity | I |
- | |
- | |
Thick mystery wild peril | K |
Law like an iron rod | N |
Yet sport they on in Spring s attire | O |
Each with his tiny fire | O |
Blown to a core of ardour | O |
By the awful breath of God | N |
