In The Valley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEDEDCDCD FGHGIJIJ KCKCLBLB MNMNOGOG

Said the yellow haired Spirit of SpringA
To the white footed Spirit of SnowB
On the wings of the tempest take wingA
And leave me the valleys and goB
And straightway the streams were unchainedC
And the frost fettered torrents broke freeD
And the strength of the winter wind wanedC
In the dawn of a light on the seaD
Then a morning breeze followed and fellE
And the woods were alive and astirD
With the pulse of a song in the dellE
And a whisper of day in the firD
Swift rings of sweet water were rolledC
Down the ways where the lily leaves grewD
And the green and the white and the goldC
Were wedded with purple and blueD
-
But the lips of the flower of the roseF
Said where is the ending hereofG
Is it sweet with you life at the closeH
Is it sad to be emptied of loveG
And the voice of the flower of the peachI
Was tender and touching in toneJ
When each has been grafted on eachI
It is sorrow to live on aloneJ
-
Then the leaves of the flower of the vineK
Said what will there be in the dayC
When the reapers are red with my wineK
And the forests are yellow and greyC
And the tremulous flower of the quinceL
Made answer three seasons agoB
My sisters were star like but sinceL
Their graves have been made in the snowB
-
Then the whispering flower of the fernM
Said who will be sad at the deathN
When Summer blows over the burnM
With the fierceness of fire in her breathN
And the mouth of the flower of the sedgeO
Was opened to murmur and sighG
Sweet wind breaths that pause at the edgeO
Of the nightfall and falter and dieG
