My Lady April Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA BBBBBB| Dew on her robe and on her tangled hair | A |
| Twin dewdrops for her eyes behold her pass | B |
| With dainty step brushing the young green grass | B |
| The while she trills some high fantastic air | A |
| Full of all feathered sweetness she is fair | A |
| And all her flower like beauty as a glass | B |
| Mirrors out hope and love and still alas | B |
| Traces of tears her languid lashes wear | A |
| - | |
| Say doth she weep for very wantonness | B |
| Or is it that she dimly doth foresee | B |
| Across her youth the joys grow less and less | B |
| The burden of the days that are to be | B |
| Autumn and withered leaves and vanity | B |
| And winter bringing end in barrenness | B |
