A Sigh Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD BEBE| Again freckled cowslips are gilding the plain | A |
| And crow flowers yellow again o'er the lea | B |
| Again the speck'd throstle comes in with her strain | A |
| And welcomes the spring but no spring can I see | B |
| - | |
| I once hail'd the throstle her singing begun | C |
| And bath'd in spring's dew when her flower met my eyes | D |
| I sought for the kingcup all cloth'd in the sun | C |
| And gather'd my cowslips and joy'd in the prize | D |
| - | |
| They brought nature's spring and they comforted me | B |
| They wip'd winter off and did pleasure restore | E |
| But alas in their tidings a change can I see | B |
| Fate's added a postscript Thy spring is no more | E |
