Youth's Spring-tribute Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDA EFEFFE| On this sweet bank your head thrice sweet and dear | A |
| I lay and spread your hair on either side | B |
| And see the newborn wood flowers bashful eyed | B |
| Look through the golden tresses here and there | C |
| On these debatable borders of the year | A |
| Spring's foot half falters scarce she yet may know | D |
| The leafless blackthorn blossom from the snow | D |
| And through her bowers the wind's way still is clear | A |
| - | |
| But April's sun strikes down the glades to day | E |
| So shut your eyes upturned and feel my kiss | F |
| Creep as the Spring now thrills through every spray | E |
| Up your warm throat to your warm lips for this | F |
| Is even the hour of Love's sworn suitservice | F |
| With whom cold hearts are counted castaway | E |
