Hope And Despair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAB DEFFDE GCHHIC IJKKIJ LMNOLM PQRRSQ TCONTC

You love the sun and the languid breezeA
That gently kisses the rosebud's lipsB
And delight to seeC
How the dainty beeC
Stilling his gauze winged melodiesA
Into the lily's chalice dipsB
-
I love the wind that unceasing roarsD
While cringe the trees from its wrath in vainE
And the lightning flashF
And the thunder crashF
And skies from whose Erebus depths outpoursD
In slanting drifts the autumnal rainE
-
You sigh to find that the time is hereG
When leaves are falling from bush and treeC
When the flowerets sweetH
Die beneath our feetH
And feebly totters the dying yearI
Into the mists of eternityC
-
To me the autumn is never drearI
It bears the glory of hopes fulfilledJ
Though the flowers be deadK
There are seeds insteadK
That with the spring of the dawning yearI
With life will find all their being thrilledJ
-
You tread the wood and the wind beholdL
Tear down the leaves from the crackling boughM
Till they make a pallN
As they thickly fallO
To hide dead flowers The air seems coldL
No summer gladdens the forest nowM
-
I tread the maze of the changing woodP
And though no light through the maples playsQ
Yet they glow each oneR
Like a rose red sunR
And drop their leaves like a glittering floodS
Of warm sunbeams in the woodland waysQ
-
Poor human heart in the year of lifeT
All seasons are and it rests with theeC
To enjoy them allO
Or to drape a pallN
O'er withered hopes and to be at strifeT
With things that are and no brightness seeC
