May Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKLM| A shower of green gems on my apple tree | A |
| This first morning of May | B |
| Has fallen out of the night to be | A |
| Herald of holiday | B |
| Bright gems of green that fallen there | C |
| Seem fixed and glowing on the air | C |
| - | |
| Until a flutter of blackbird wings | D |
| Shakes and makes the boughs alive | E |
| And the gems are now no frozen things | D |
| But apple green buds to thrive | E |
| On sap of my May garden how well | F |
| The green September globes will tell | F |
| - | |
| Also my pear tree has its buds | G |
| But they are silver yellow | H |
| Like autumn meadows when the floods | G |
| Are silver under willow | H |
| And here shall long and shapely pears | I |
| Be gathered while the autumn wears | I |
| - | |
| And there are sixty daffodils | J |
| Beneath my wall | K |
| And jealousy it is that kills | J |
| This world when all | K |
| The spring's behaviour here is spent | L |
| To make the world magnificent | M |
