Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Frost locked all the winterA
Seeds and roots and stones of fruitsB
What shall make their sap ascendC
That they may put forth shootsB
Tips of tender greenD
Leaf or blade or sheathE
Telling of the hidden lifeF
That breaks forth underneathE
Life nursed in its grave by DeathG
-
Blows the thaw wind pleasantlyH
Drips the soaking rainI
By fits looks down the waking sunJ
Young grass springs on the plainI
Young leaves clothe early hedgerow treesK
Seeds and roots and stones of fruitsB
Swollen with sap put forth their shootsB
Curled headed ferns sprout in the laneI
Birds sing and pair againL
-
There is no time like SpringM
When life's alive in everythingM
Before new nestlings singM
Before cleft swallows speed their journey backN
Along the trackless trackN
God guides their wingM
He spreads their table that they nothing lackN
Before the daisy grows a common flowerA
Before the sun has powerA
To scorch the world up in his noontide hourA
-
There is no time like SpringM
Like Spring that passes byO
There is no life like Spring life born to dieO
Piercing the sodP
Clothing the uncouth clodP
Hatched in the nestP
Fledged on the windy boughQ
Strong on the wingM
There is no time like Spring that passes byO
Now newly born and nowQ
Hastening to dieO
