The Promise Of The Hawthorn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| Spring sleeps and stirs and trembles with desire | A |
| Pure as a babe's that nestles toward the breast | B |
| The world as yet an all unstricken lyre | C |
| With all its chords alive and all at rest | B |
| Feels not the sun's hand yet but feels his breath | D |
| And yearns for love made perfect Man and bird | E |
| Thrilled through with hope of life that casts out death | D |
| Wait with a rapturous patience till his word | E |
| Speak heaven and flower by flower and tree by tree | F |
| Give back the silent strenuous utterance Earth | G |
| Alive awhile and joyful as the sea | F |
| Laughs not aloud in joy too deep for mirth | G |
| Presageful of perfection of delight | H |
| Till all the unborn green buds be born in white | H |
