Sonnet Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDEDFGHGHAA| Written at the close of Spring | A |
| - | |
| THE garlands fade that Spring so lately wove | B |
| Each simple flower which she had nursed in dew | C |
| Anemonies that spangled every grove | B |
| The primrose wan and hare bell mildly blue | C |
| No more shall violets linger in the dell | D |
| Or purple orchis variegate the plain | E |
| Till Spring again shall call forth every bell | D |
| And dress with humid hands her wreaths again | F |
| Ah poor humanity so frail so fair | G |
| Are the fond visions of thy early day | H |
| Till tyrant passion and corrosive care | G |
| Bid all thy fairy colours fade away | H |
| Another May new buds and flowers shall bring | A |
| Ah why has happiness no second spring | A |
