In Snow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACDAEFGFFEO 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 |
