May Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEF ABCCC| I cannot tell you how it was | A |
| But this I know it came to pass | B |
| Upon a bright and breezy day | C |
| When May was young ah pleasant May | C |
| As yet the poppies were not born | D |
| Between the blades of tender corn | D |
| The last eggs had not hatched as yet | E |
| Nor any bird foregone its mate | F |

| I cannot tell you what it was | A |
| But this I know it did but pass | B |
| It passed away with sunny May | C |
| With all sweet things it passed away | C |
| And left me old and cold and gray | C |
