The Ready Artists Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDD EEFFGH IIJJKK AALLMM| The green is in the meadow and the blue is in the sky | A |
| And all of Nature's artists have their colors handy by | A |
| With a few days bright with sunshine and a few nights free from frost | B |
| They will start to splash their colors quite regardless of the cost | C |
| There's an artist waiting ready at each bleak and dismal spot | D |
| To paint the flashing tulip or the meek forget me not | D |
| - | |
| May is lurking in the distance and her lap is filled with flowers | E |
| And the choicest of her blossoms very shortly will be ours | E |
| There is not a lane so dreary or a field so dark with gloom | F |
| But that soon will be resplendent with its little touch of bloom | F |
| There's an artist keen and eager to make beautiful each scene | G |
| And remove with colors gorgeous every trace of what has been | H |
| - | |
| Oh the world is now in mourning round about us all are spread | I |
| The ruins and the symbols of the winter that is dead | I |
| But the bleak and barren picture very shortly now will pass | J |
| For the halls of life are ready for their velvet rugs of grass | J |
| And the painters now are waiting with their magic to replace | K |
| This dullness with a beauty that no mortal hand can trace | K |
| - | |
| The green is in the meadow and the blue is in the sky | A |
| The chill of death is passing life will shortly greet the eye | A |
| We shall revel soon in colors only Nature's artists make | L |
| And the humblest plant that's sleeping unto beauty shall awake | L |
| For there's not a leaf forgotten not a twig neglected there | M |
| And the tiniest of pansies shall the royal purple wear | M |
