Mad As The Mist And Snow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EBFBGB HBIBAB

Bolt and bar the shutterA
For the foul winds blowB
Our minds are at their best this nightC
And I seem to knowB
That everything outside us isD
Mad as the mist and snowB
-
Horace there by Homer standsE
Plato stands belowB
And here is Tully's open pageF
How many years agoB
Were you and I unlettered ladsG
Mad as the mist and snowB
-
You ask what makes me sigh old friendH
What makes me shudder soB
I shudder and I sigh to thinkI
That even CiceroB
And many minded Homer wereA
Mad as the mist and snowB
