Sonnet Lxxviii. Snowdrops Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGWAN Heralds of the sun and summer gale | A |
That seem just fallen from infant Zephyrs' wing | B |
Not now as once with heart revived I hail | A |
Your modest buds that for the brow of Spring | B |
Form the first simple garland Now no more | C |
Escaping for a moment all my cares | D |
Shall I with pensive silent step explore | C |
The woods yet leafless where to chilling airs | D |
Your green and pencil'd blossoms trembling wave | E |
Ah ye soft transient children of the ground | F |
More fair was she on whose untimely grave | E |
Flow my unceasing tears Their varied round | F |
The Seasons go while I through all repine | G |
For fix'd regret and hopeless grief are mine | G |
