How Was It Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCBADEEDED| Why ask dear one I think I cannot tell | A |
| More than I know how clouds so sudden lift | B |
| From mountains or how snowflakes float and drift | B |
| Or springs leave hills One secret and one spell | A |
| All true things have No sunlight ever fell | A |
| With sound to bid flowers open Still and swift | B |
| Come sweetest things on earth | C |
| So comes true gift | B |
| Of Love and so we know that it is well | A |
| Sure tokens also like the cloud the snow | D |
| And silent flowing of the mountain springs | E |
| The new gift of true loving always brings | E |
| In clearer light in purer paths we go | D |
| New currents of deep joy in common things | E |
| We find These are the tokens dear we know | D |
