The Easter Decorations Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB CDAD EAAA AAAA FACA GHCH| O take away your dried and painted garlands | A |
| The snow cloth's fallen from each quicken'd brow | B |
| The stone's rolled off the sepulchre of winter | C |
| And risen leaves and flowers are wanted now | B |
| - | |
| Send out the little ones that they may gather | C |
| With their pure hands the firstlings of the birth | D |
| Green golden tufts and delicate half blown blossoms | A |
| Sweet with the fragrance of the Easter earth | D |
| - | |
| Great primrose bunches with soft damp moss clinging | E |
| To their brown fibres nursed in hazel roots | A |
| And violets from the shady banks and copses | A |
| And wood anemones and white hawthorn shoots | A |
| - | |
| And tender curling fronds of fern and grasses | A |
| And crumpled leaves from brink of babbling rills | A |
| With cottage garden treasures pale narcissi | A |
| And lilac plumes and yellow daffodils | A |
| - | |
| Open the doors and let the Easter sunshine | F |
| Flow warmly in and out in amber waves | A |
| And let the perfume floating round our altar | C |
| Meet the new perfume from the outer graves | A |
| - | |
| And let the Easter Alleluia mingle | G |
| With the sweet silver rain notes of the lark | H |
| Let us all sing together Lent is over | C |
| Captivity and winter death and dark | H |
