Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFCGHIAJKLMDDN

To what purpose April do you return againA
Beauty is not enoughB
You can no longer quiet me with the rednessC
Of little leaves opening stickilyD
I know what I knowE
The sun is hot on my neck as I observeF
The spikes of the crocusC
The smell of the earth is goodG
It is apparent that there is no deathH
But what does that signifyI
Not only under ground are the brains of menA
Eaten by maggotsJ
Life in itselfK
Is nothingL
An empty cup a flight of uncarpeted stairsM
It is not enough that yearly down this hillD
AprilD
Comes like an idiot babbling and strewing flowersN
