A Calendar Of Sonnets: April Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDDCDNo days such honored days as these While yet | A |
Fair Aphrodite reigned men seeking wide | B |
For some fair thing which should forever bide | B |
On earth her beauteous memory to set | A |
In fitting frame that no age could forget | A |
Her name in lovely April's name did hide | B |
And leave it there eternally allied | B |
To all the fairest flowers Spring did beget | A |
And when fair Aphrodite passed from earth | C |
Her shrines forgotten and her feasts of mirth | C |
A holier symbol still in seal and sign | D |
Sweet April took of kingdom most divine | D |
When Christ ascended in the time of birth | C |
Of spring anemones in Palestine | D |
