Spring's Messengers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDCDEFGEHWhere slanting banks are always with the sun | A |
The daisy is in blossom even now | B |
And where warm patches by the hedges run | A |
The cottager when coming home from plough | B |
Brings home a cowslip root in flower to set | C |
Thus ere the Christmas goes the spring is met | C |
Setting up little tents about the fields | D |
In sheltered spots Primroses when they get | C |
Behind the wood's old roots where ivy shields | D |
Their crimpled curdled leaves will shine and hide | E |
Cart ruts and horses' footings scarcely yield | F |
A slur for boys just crizzled and that's all | G |
Frost shoots his needles by the small dyke side | E |
And snow in scarce a feather's seen to | H |
