An April Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEEDED| Nay be not June nor yet December dear | A |
| But April always as I find thee now | B |
| A constant freshness unto me be thou | B |
| And not the ripeness that must soon be sere | A |
| Why should I be Time's dupe and wish more near | A |
| The sobering harvest of thy vernal vow | B |
| I am content so still across thy brow | B |
| Returning smile chase transitory tear | C |
| Then scatter thy April heart in sunny showers | D |
| I crave nor Summer drouth nor Winter sleet | E |
| As Spring be fickle so thou be as sweet | E |
| With half kept promise tantalise the hours | D |
| And let Love's frolic hands and woodland feet | E |
| Fill high the lap of Life with wilding flowers | D |
