Spring, 1916 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABD EFGEHG EIJEKJ| Slow rigid is this masquerade | A |
| That passes as through a difficult air | B |
| Heavily heavily passes | C |
| What has she fed on Who her table laid | A |
| Through the three seasons What forbidden fare | B |
| Ruined her as a mortal lass is | D |
| - | |
| I played with her two years ago | E |
| Who might be now her own sister in stone | F |
| So altered from her May mien | G |
| When round the pink a necklace of warm snow | E |
| Laughed to her throat where my mouth's touch had gone | H |
| How is this ruined Queen | G |
| - | |
| Who lured her vivid beauty so | E |
| 'l'o be that strained chill thing that moves | I |
| So ghastly midst her young brood | J |
| Of pregnant shoots that she for men did grow | E |
| Where are the strong men who made these their loves | K |
| Spring God pity your mood | J |
