Calendar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEFGHI FIEJKLK MENOPO| To find with you the earliest | A |
| Willow buds before their silver turns to gold | B |
| And the first previous buttercup and cyclamen that blossom | C |
| Ere the leaflets of the vernal trees unfold | B |
| To lie with you in June | D |
| Beneath a broad magnolia scented moon | D |
| And under stars and meteors of late summer | E |
| To see with you | F |
| The goldenrod become an ashen ghost | G |
| And the rose of autumn crumble | H |
| And the leaf put on the splendor of the rose | I |
| - | |
| And the last leaf fall upon the wintry blue | F |
| In a wind from the lofty snows | I |
| To sit with you beside the murmuring fire | E |
| When a stifled sunset dies | J |
| And watch through misty panes | K |
| The boughs that toss upon a winter driven sky | L |
| And the swift eternal slanting of dark rains | K |
| - | |
| These are my seasons | M |
| This is my calendar | E |
| Where love appoints the course of many a sun and star | N |
| And wanting you I should not care nor know | O |
| If it were the time of falling jasmine petals | P |
| Or the time of falling snow | O |
