Easter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEDEAFAGABAB BBBBABABDEDE| Lent gathers up her cloak of sombre shading | A |
| In her reluctant hands | B |
| Her beauty heightens fairest in its fading | A |
| As pensively she stands | B |
| Awaiting Easter's benediction falling | A |
| Like silver stars at night | C |
| Before she can obey the summons calling | A |
| Her to her upward flight | C |
| Awaiting Easter's wings that she must borrow | D |
| Ere she can hope to fly | E |
| Those glorious wings that we shall see to morrow | D |
| Against the far blue sky | E |
| Has not the purple of her vesture's lining | A |
| Brought calm and rest to all | F |
| Has her dark robe had naught of golden shining | A |
| Been naught but pleasure's pall | G |
| Who knows Perhaps when to the world returning | A |
| In youth's light joyousness | B |
| We'll wear some rarer jewels we found burning | A |
| In Lent's black bordered dress | B |
| So hand in hand with fitful March she lingers | B |
| To beg the crowning grace | B |
| Of lifting with her pure and holy fingers | B |
| The veil from April's face | B |
| Sweet rosy April laughing sighing waiting | A |
| Until the gateway swings | B |
| And she and Lent can kiss between the grating | A |
| Of Easter's tissue wings | B |
| Too brief the bliss the parting comes with sorrow | D |
| Good bye dear Lent good bye | E |
| We'll watch your fading wings outlined to morrow | D |
| Against the far blue sky | E |
