A Calendar Of Sonnets: March Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEFMonth which the warring ancients strangely styled | A |
The month of war as if in their fierce ways | B |
Were any month of peace in thy rough days | B |
I find no war in Nature though the wild | A |
Winds clash and clang and broken boughs are piled | A |
As feet of writhing trees The violets raise | B |
Their heads without affright without amaze | B |
And sleep through all the din as sleeps a child | A |
And he who watches well may well discern | C |
Sweet expectation in each living thing | D |
Like pregnant mother the sweet earth doth yearn | C |
In secret joy makes ready for the spring | D |
And hidden sacred in her breast doth bear | E |
Annunciation lilies for the year | F |
