A Calendar Of Sonnets: May Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| O Month when they who love must love and wed | A |
| Were one to go to worlds where May is naught | B |
| And seek to tell the memories he had brought | B |
| From earth of thee what were most fitly said | A |
| I know not if the rosy showers shed | A |
| From apple boughs or if the soft green wrought | B |
| In fields or if the robin's call be fraught | B |
| The most with thy delight Perhaps they read | A |
| Thee best who in the ancient time did say | C |
| Thou wert the sacred month unto the old | D |
| No blossom blooms upon thy brightest day | C |
| So subtly sweet as memories which unfold | D |
| In aged hearts which in thy sunshine lie | E |
| To sun themselves once more before they die | E |
