Go Back Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DED FGFG HIHJ HKHK HLHL| When winds of March by the springtime bidden | A |
| Over the great earth race and shout | B |
| Forth from my breast where it long hath hidden | C |
| My same old sorrow comes creeping out | B |
| - | |
| I think each winter its life is ended | D |
| For it makes no stir while the snows lie deep | E |
| I say to myself 'Its soul has blended | D |
| Into the past where it lay asleep ' | - |
| - | |
| But as soon as the sun like some fond lover | F |
| Smiles and kisses the earth's round cheeks | G |
| This sad sad sorrow throws off its cover | F |
| And out of the depths of its anguish speaks | G |
| - | |
| In every bud by the wayside springing | H |
| It finds a sword for its half healed wounds | I |
| In every note that the thrush is singing | H |
| It hears the saddest of minor sounds | J |
| - | |
| In the cup of gold that the sun is spilling | H |
| It finds unsweetened a drop of gall | K |
| It sees through the warp that the Spring is filling | H |
| The black threads twining in under it all | K |
| - | |
| Go back O spring till pain forsaking | H |
| These haunts of sorrow shall sink to rest | L |
| Go back go back for my heart is breaking | H |
| And the same old anguish hurts my breast | L |
