Sonnet Viii. To Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBABABDBEFFF| AGAIN the wood and long withdrawing vale | A |
| In many a tint of tender green are drest | B |
| Where the young leaves unfolding scarce conceal | C |
| Beneath their early shade the half form'd nest | B |
| Of finch or woodlark and the primrose pale | A |
| And lavish cowslip wildly scatter'd round | B |
| Give their sweet spirits to the sighing gale | A |
| Ah season of delight could aught be found | B |
| To soothe awhile the tortured bosom's pain | D |
| Of sorrow's rankling shaft to cure the wound | B |
| And bring life's first delusions once again | E |
| 'Twere surely met in thee thy prospect fair | F |
| Thy sounds of harmony thy balmy air | F |
| Have power to cure all sadness but despair | F |
