The Voice Of Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDDDEE FFDDGH IIJJDD KKDDDDI come I come ye have called me long | A |
I come o'er the mountains with light and song | A |
Ye may trace my step o'er the waking earth | B |
By the winds which tell of the violet's birth | B |
By the primrose stars in the shadowy grass | C |
By the green leaves opening as I pass | C |
- | |
I have breathed on the South and the chestnut flowers | D |
By thousands have burst from the forest bowers | D |
And the ancient graves and the fallen fanes | D |
Are veiled with wreaths on Italian plains | D |
But it is not for me in my hour of bloom | E |
To speak of the ruin or the tomb | E |
- | |
I have looked o'er the hills of the stormy North | F |
And the larch has hung all his tassels forth | F |
The fisher is out on the sunny sea | D |
And the reindeer bounds o'er the pastures free | D |
And the pine has a fringe of softer green | G |
And the moss looks bright where my step has been | H |
- | |
I have sent through the wood paths a glowing sigh | I |
And called out each voice of the deep blue sky | I |
From the night bird's lay through the starry time | J |
In the groves of the soft Hesperian clime | J |
To the swan's wild note by the Iceland lakes | D |
When the dark fir branch into verdure breaks | D |
- | |
From the streams and founts I have loosed the chain | K |
They are sweeping on to the silvery main | K |
They are flashing down from the mountain brows | D |
They are flinging spray o'er the forest boughs | D |
They are bursting fresh from their sparry caves | D |
And the earth resounds with the joy of waves | D |
