Sonnet Lxxxv. To March Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABBAACDCDEE F| MARCH tho' the Hours of promise with bright ray | A |
| May gild thy noons yet on wild pinion borne | B |
| Loud Winds more often rudely wake thy morn | B |
| And harshly hymn thy early closing day | A |
| Still the chill'd Earth wears with her tresses shorn | B |
| Her bleak grey garb yet not for this we mourn | B |
| Nor as in Winter's more enduring sway | A |
| With festal viands and Associates gay | A |
| Arm 'gainst the Skies nor shun the piercing gale | C |
| But with blue cheeks and with disorder'd hair | D |
| Meet its rough breath and peep for primrose pale | C |
| Or lurking violet under hedges bare | D |
| And thro' long evenings from our Lares claim | E |
| The thrift of stinted grate and sullen flame | E |
| - | |
| Lares Hearth Gods | F |
