Awake! Awake! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GEHEIBJB KEL MENE| Awake awake for the Springtime's sake | A |
| March daffodils too long dreaming | B |
| The lark is high in the spacious sky | C |
| And the celandine's stars are gleaming | B |
| The gorse is ablaze and the woodland sprays | D |
| Are as purple as August heather | E |
| The buds unfurl and mavis and merle | F |
| Are singing duets together | E |
| - | |
| The rivulets run first one by one | G |
| Then meet in the swirling river | E |
| And on out peeping roots the sun god shoots | H |
| The shafts of his golden quiver | E |
| In the hazel copse the thrush never stops | I |
| Till with music the world seems ringing | B |
| And the milkmaid hale as she carries her pail | J |
| Goes home to the dairy singing | B |
| - | |
| And the swain and his sweet in the love lanes meet | K |
| And welcome and face each other | E |
| Till he folds her charms in his world wide arms | L |
| With kisses that blind and smother '' | - |
| Then the daffodils came aflame aflame | M |
| In orchard and garth and cover | E |
| And out April leapt first smiled then wept | N |
| And longed for her May day lover | E |
