An Appreciation of English Poem

------A Winter Eden

The poem A Winter Eden is written by Robert Frost who is an outstanding american poet. He usually writes some insignificant and common things but can inspire readers to draw some philosophy from it. This selected poem descripes a garden in the winter which is filled with tranquility, freshment and vigor as well. It portrays the winter garden in the alder swamp, the conies,the snow, the beast and the bird. The poem reflects a lovely and peaceful picture of winter.

The soud of the poem is fluent, smooth and full of rhythm.

First, about the rhyme between words. It is obvious that this poem is rich in alliteration and consonance. For example, in the fourth line of the first stanza,“and not melt snow or start a dormant tree”, the “not ”and “dormant”are assonance, while “snow ”and “start” are alliteration. In the second stanza, also in the last line, “and last year’s berries shinning with scarlet red”, the “year’s”and “berries”are consonance, and “shinning”and “scarlet”are alliteration. In the third stanza, in the line “where he can stretch and hold his highest feast”, the “hold”“his”and “highest” are alliteration, while “highest” and “feast” are consonance. In the fourth stanza, in the sentence “so near to paradise all pairing ends”, the words “paradise”and “ends”are also consonance. Another distinguished example is in the second line “here loveless birds now flock as winter friends”, where “loveless” “birds” and “as” “friends”are excellent consonance. In the last line of this stanza, the repetation of the word “which” creats rich rhyme. In the fifth stanza, in the last line “to make it worth life’s while to wake and sport”, “make”and “wake”comply with rhyme. These kinds of rhyme succucessfully infuse the poem with beautiful sound and is smooth in reading. Thus adds the charming of the poem.

Second, about the rhyme between the lines. Just look at the end of each line, we can draw that this poem’s rhyming scheme is “aabbccddeeffgghhiijj”by analysing the ending words “swamp, romp”“be and tree”“snow, below”“overhead,red”“beast, feast”“bark,mark”“ends, friends”“presume, bloom”“knock, o’clock”and “short, sport”. This kind of rhyming scheme also enable the poem coherent as a whole and makes the artistic conception integrated.
