Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJKLK MNOODPQP RSTSDUGU OVWXCPRP

Oh bud and leaf and blossomA
How beautiful they areB
Than last year's vernal seasonC
'Tis lovelier by farB
This earth was never so enchantingD
Nor half so bright beforeE
But so I've rhapsodized in springtimeF
For forty years or moreE
-
What luxury of colorG
On shrub and plant and vineH
From pansies' richest purpleI
To pink of eglantineH
From buttercups to johnny jump upsJ
With deep cerulean eyesK
Responding to their modest surnameL
In violet surpriseK
-
Sometimes I think the sunlightM
That gilds the emerald hillsN
And makes Aladdin dwellingsO
Of dingy domicilesO
Is surplus beauty overflowingD
That Heaven cannot holdP
The topaz glitter or the jacinthQ
The glare of streets of goldP
-
In Cedar Hill the cityR
Of low green tents of sodS
I read the solemn recordT
Of those gone home to GodS
While from their hallowed dust arisingD
The fragrant lilies growU
As if their life was all the sweeterG
For those who sleep belowU
-
And so 'tis not in sadnessO
I dwell upon the thoughtV
When I am dead and buriedW
That I shall be forgotX
Because the germ of reproductionC
Doth this poor body holdP
Perchance to add to nature's beautyR
A rose above the moldP
