Love's Calendar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC ABABBCBC ABABBCBC BCBC| The spring may come in her pomp and splendor | A |
| And Summer follow with rain and rose | B |
| Or Fall lead in that old offender | A |
| Winter close huddled up in snows | B |
| Ever a South the Love wind blows | B |
| Into the heart like a vane a sway | C |
| From face to face of the girls it knows | B |
| But which is the fairest it 's hard to say | C |
| - | |
| If Lydia smile or Maud look tender | A |
| Straight in your bosom the gladness glows | B |
| But scarce at her side are you all surrender | A |
| When Gertrude sings where the garden grows | B |
| And your heart is a bloom mid the blossoming rows | B |
| For her hand to gather and toss away | C |
| Or wear on her breast as her fancy goes | B |
| But which is the fairest it 's hard to say | C |
| - | |
| Let Helen pass as a sapling slender | A |
| Her cheek a berry her mouth a rose | B |
| Or Blanche or Laura to each you render | A |
| The worship due to the charms she shows | B |
| But Ruth's a poem when these are prose | B |
| Low at her feet your life you lay | C |
| All of devotion to her it owes | B |
| But which is the fairest it 's hard to say | C |
| - | |
| How can a man of his heart dispose | B |
| When Bess and Clara and Kate and May | C |
| In form and feature no flaw disclose | B |
| And which is the fairest it 's hard to say | C |
