The Seasons' Comfort Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDDB EEFGGFGGF HHIJJIKKI| Dry thine eyes Doll the stars above us shine | A |
| God of His goodness made them mine and thine | A |
| His silver have we gotten and His gold | B |
| Whilst there's a sun to call us in the morn | C |
| To ply the hook among amid the yellow corn | C |
| That such a mine of pretty gems doth hold | B |
| For there's the poppy half in sorrow | D |
| Greeting sleepy eyed the morrow | D |
| And the corn flower dainty tire for a sweetheart sunny poll'd | B |
| - | |
| Dry thine eyes Doll the woods are all our own | E |
| The woods that soon shall take a braver tone | E |
| What time the frosts first silver Nature's hair | F |
| The birds shall sing their best for thee and me | G |
| And every sunrise listeners will we be | G |
| And so of singing get the goodliest share | F |
| When the thrushes sing so sweetly | G |
| We would fain be footing featly | G |
| But our hearts dance time instead in the throbbing matin air | F |
| - | |
| Dry thine eyes Doll there's Love to feed our fire | H |
| Not for the buying but for the desire | H |
| Winter ne'er quenched a blaze so bravely fed | I |
| And Sleep I wot will grudge us not his best | J |
| In winter earlier sink the suns to rest | J |
| And eke the sooner shall our toils be sped | I |
| When in the embers glowing | K |
| There'll be love charms worth the knowing | K |
| Or at Yule tide mazes threaded with the mistletoe o'erhead | I |
