April Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEBFGFH IJGJFJKJLMMM| The sweetest thing I thought | A |
| At one time between earth and heaven | B |
| Was the first smile | C |
| When mist has been forgiven | B |
| And the sun has stolen out | D |
| Peered and resolved to shine at seven | B |
| On dabbled lengthening grasses | E |
| Thick primroses and early leaves uneven | B |
| When earth's breath warm and humid far surpasses | F |
| The richest oven's and loudly rings 'cuckoo' | G |
| And sharply the nightingale's 'tsoo tsoo tsoo tsoo' | F |
| To say 'God bless it' was all that I could do | H |
| - | |
| But now I know one sweeter | I |
| By far since the day Emily | J |
| Turned weeping back | G |
| To me still happy me | J |
| To ask forgiveness | F |
| Yet smiled with half a certainty | J |
| To be forgiven for what | K |
| She had never done I knew not what it might be | J |
| Nor could she tell me having now forgot | L |
| By rapture carried with me past all care | M |
| As to an isle in April lovelier | M |
| Than April's self 'God bless you' I said to her | M |
