Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEED AFCGHIIH AHCHJKJK LMLMNONOComes not the springtime here | A |
Though the snowdrop came | B |
And the time of the cowslip is near | C |
For a yellow flame | B |
Was found in a tuft of green | D |
And the joyous shout | E |
Of a child rang out | E |
That a cuckoo's eggs were seen | D |

Comes not the summer here | A |
Though the cowslip be gone | F |
Though the wild rose blow as the year | C |
Draws faithfully on | G |
Though the face of the poppy be red | H |
In the morning light | I |
And the ground be white | I |
With the bloom of the locust shed | H |
- | |
Comes not the autumn here | A |
Though someone said | H |
He found a leaf in the sere | C |
By an aster dead | H |
And knew that the summer was done | J |
For a herdsman cried | K |
That his pastures were brown in the sun | J |
And his wells were dried | K |
- | |
Nor shall the winter come | L |
Though the elm be bare | M |
And every voice be dumb | L |
On the frozen air | M |
But the flap of a waterfowl | N |
In the marsh alone | O |
Or the hoot of a horned owl | N |
On a glacial stone | O |
