Transition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Too long and quickly have I lived to vow | A |
| The woe that stretches me shall never wane | B |
| Too often seen the end of endless pain | B |
| To swear that peace no more shall cool my brow | A |
| I know I know again the shriveled bough | A |
| Will burgeon sweetly in the gentle rain | B |
| And these hard lands be quivering with grain | B |
| I tell you only it is Winter now | A |
| - | |
| What if I know before the Summer goes | C |
| Where dwelt this bitter frenzy shall be rest | D |
| What is it now that June shall surely bring | E |
| New promise with the swallow and the rose | C |
| My heart is water that I first must breast | D |
| The terrible slow loveliness of Spring | E |
