Last Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDE| The first flower of the spring is not so fair | A |
| Or bright as one the ripe midsummer brings | B |
| The first faint note the forest warbler sings | B |
| Is not as rich with feeling or so rare | A |
| As when full master of his art the air | A |
| Drowns in the liquid sea of song he flings | B |
| Like silver spray from beak and breast and wings | B |
| The artist's earliest effort wrought with care | A |
| The bard's first ballad written in his tears | C |
| Set by his later toil seems poor and tame | D |
| And into nothing dwindles at the test | E |
| So with the passions of maturer years | F |
| Let those who will demand the first fond flame | D |
| Give me the heart's last love for that is best | E |
