In Snow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACDAEFGFFE| O English mother in the ruddy glow | A |
| Hugging your baby closer when outside | B |
| You see the silent soft and cruel snow | A |
| Falling again and think what ills betide | B |
| Unshelter'd creatures your sad thoughts may go | A |
| Where War and Winter now two spectre wolves | C |
| Hunt in the freezing vapour that involves | D |
| Those Asian peaks of ice and gulfs below | A |
| Does this young Soldier heed the snow that fills | E |
| His mouth and open eyes or mind in truth | F |
| To night his mother's parting syllables | G |
| Ha is't a red coat Merely blood Keep ruth | F |
| For others this is but an Afghan youth | F |
| Shot by the stranger on his native hills | E |
