Barren Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDEED| So now the changed year's turning wheel returns | A |
| And as a girl sails balanced in the wind | B |
| And now before and now again behind | B |
| Stoops as it swoops with cheek that laughs and burns | A |
| So Spring comes merry towards me now but earns | A |
| No answering smile from me whose life is twin'd | B |
| With the dead boughs that winter still must bind | B |
| And whom to day the Spring no more concerns | A |
| - | |
| Behold this crocus is a withering flame | C |
| This snowdrop snow this apple blossom's part | D |
| To breed the fruit that breeds the serpent's art | D |
| Nay for these Spring flowers turn thy face from them | E |
| Nor gaze till on the year's last lily stem | E |
| The white cup shrivels round the golden heart | D |
