Nothing New Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DEDEDE FGFGFG FHFHFHH| From the dawn of spring till the year grows hoary | A |
| Nothing is new that is done or said | B |
| The leaves are telling the same old story | A |
| Budding bursting dying dead | B |
| And ever and always the wild bird's chorus | C |
| Is coming building flying fled | B |
| - | |
| Never the round earth roams or ranges | D |
| Out of her circuit so old so old | E |
| And the smile o' the sun knows but these changes | D |
| Beaming burning tender cold | E |
| As Spring time softens or Winter estranges | D |
| The mighty heart of this orb of gold | E |
| - | |
| From our great sire's birth to the last morn's breaking | F |
| There were tempest sunshine fruit and frost | G |
| And the sea was calm or the sea was shaking | F |
| His mighty main like a lion crossed | G |
| And ever this cry the heart was making | F |
| Longing loving losing lost | G |
| - | |
| Forever the wild wind wanders crying | F |
| Southerly easterly north and west | H |
| And one worn song the fields are sighing | F |
| Sowing growing harvest rest | H |
| And the tired thought of the world replying | F |
| Like an echo to what is last and best | H |
| Murmurs Rest | H |
