A Dirge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDEC FGGF HIJK

LET Summer goA
To other gardens here we have no need of herB
She smiles and beckons but we take no heed of herB
Who love not Summer but bare boughs and snowA
-
-
Set the snow freeC
To choke the insolent triumph of the yearD
With birds that sing as though he still were hereE
And flowers that blow as if he still could seeC
-
-
Let the rose dieF
What ailed the rose to blow she is not dear to usG
Nor all the summer pageant that draws near to usG
Let it be over soon let it go byF
-
-
Let winter comeH
With the wild mourning of the wind tossed boughsI
To drown the stillness of the empty houseJ
To which no more the little feet come homeK
