Not Yet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCABAADDAAEFAAEFGA HHGAIBAAJB| NOT yet hath Nature lovely colorist | A |
| Bestirred her from creative dream to fling | B |
| Soft flame upon the woods nay not to dip | C |
| One pleading maple tip | C |
| In carmine all the waiting world is whist | A |
| Alert to hear the first faint flutes of spring | B |
| Not yet the tingling flood of blue and gold | A |
| Is poured through heaven but o'er the misty pond | A |
| Quiet as patterned silk flushed saplings lean | D |
| And the auspicious green | D |
| Through the deep woods and on the unpathed wold | A |
| Brightens in patient moss and wistful frond | A |
| Not yet cascades of melody invoke | E |
| The holy dawn but all the air perceives | F |
| By some fine thrill the rushing northward flight | A |
| Of myriad wings despite | A |
| The nonchalances of this crookback oak | E |
| Still clinging to its russet shreds of leaves | F |
| Not yet the laughing hid folk of the earth | G |
| Thrust Up white helm and golden coronet | A |
| Sweet elfin host armored in gossamer | H |
| But gentle tremors stir | H |
| The conscious mold new beauty comes to birth | G |
| Under the snow's fast melting coverlet | A |
| Not yet not yet the yearly miracle | I |
| Is wrought but ecstasy is on the wing | B |
| And her divine irrevocable flight | A |
| Is swift as all delight | A |
| The heart is hushed as for the sacring bell | J |
| Awe smitten by expectancy of spring | B |
