Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHI JKLJ| Now fades the last long streak of snow | A |
| Now burgeons every maze of quick | B |
| About the flowering squares and thick | B |
| By ashen roots the violets blow | A |
| - | |
| Now rings the woodland loud and long | C |
| The distance takes a lovelier hue | D |
| And drowned in yonder living blue | D |
| The lark becomes a sightless song | C |
| - | |
| Now dance the lights on lawn and lea | E |
| The flocks are whiter down the vale | F |
| And milkier every milky sail | F |
| On winding stream or distant sea | E |
| - | |
| Where now the seamew pipes or dives | G |
| In yonder greening gleam and fly | H |
| The happy birds that change their sky | H |
| To build and brood that live their lives | I |
| - | |
| From land to land and in my breast | J |
| Spring wakens too and my regret | K |
| Become an April violet | L |
| And buds and blossoms like the rest | J |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
