Winter's Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGHIIJJDD| Is it not fine to walk in spring | A |
| When leaves are born and hear birds sing | A |
| And when they lose their singing powers | B |
| In summer watch the bees at flowers | B |
| Is it not fine when summer's past | C |
| To have the leaves no longer fast | C |
| Biting my heel where'er I go | D |
| Or dancing lightly on my toe | D |
| Now winter's here and rivers freeze | E |
| As I walk out I see the trees | E |
| Wherein the pretty squirrels sleep | F |
| All standing in the snow so deep | F |
| And every twig however small | G |
| Is blossomed white and beautiful | H |
| Then welcome winter with thy power | I |
| To make this tree a big white flower | I |
| To make this tree a lovely sight | J |
| With fifty brown arms draped in white | J |
| While thousands of small fingers show | D |
| In soft white gloves of purest snow | D |
