Hopes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI CACA IJIK LMLM| A PRINCESS sleeping in enchanted bowers | A |
| Earth springs to waking at Spring's voice and kiss | B |
| And after winter's cold unlovely hours | A |
| Laughs out to find how beautiful she is | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| Spring flings a song across the field and fold | D |
| And sighs it through the glad wood's tangled ways | E |
| And million million tales of love are told | D |
| And dreams are dreamed of undivided days | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| In hollows where so late but dead leaves lay | F |
| Through the dead leaves the primroses push up | G |
| And wind flowers fleck the copse and fields are gay | F |
| With daisies and the budding buttercup | G |
| - | |
| - | |
| So in our hearts though thick the dead leaves lie | H |
| Of grief heaped up by winds of old despair | I |
| May there not be a spring time by and by | H |
| When flowers of joy shall blossom even there | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| So long has Winter held our hearts in his | C |
| We dare not dream of Spring and all her flowers | A |
| Ah the undreamed of happiness it is | C |
| That comes the dreamed of joy is never ours | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| When late the trees were brown and hedges bare | I |
| And keen east wind cut sharp as human pain | J |
| Did the Earth guess how soon she would be fair | I |
| With Spring's dear dainty loveliness again | K |
| - | |
| - | |
| We do not guess of joy but hope alone | L |
| Like life's mysterious force that thrills the earth | M |
| Lives in our souls unrecognised unknown | L |
| Till time shall bring unhoped for joy to birth | M |
