The Passing Of The Hawthorn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| The coming of the hawthorn brings on earth | A |
| Heaven all the spring speaks out in one sweet word | B |
| And heaven grows gladder knowing that earth has heard | B |
| Ere half the flowers are jubilant in birth | A |
| The splendour of the laughter of their mirth | A |
| Dazzles delight with wonder man and bird | B |
| Rejoice and worship stilled at heart and stirred | B |
| With rapture girt about with awe for girth | A |
| The passing of the hawthorn takes away | C |
| Heaven all the spring falls dumb and all the soul | D |
| Sinks down in man for sorrow Night and day | C |
| Forego the joy that made them one and whole | D |
| The change that falls on every starry spray | C |
| Bids flower by flower the knell of springtime toll | D |
