Spring I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH EEEE IJIJ| When on the mountain tops ray crowned Apollo | A |
| Turns his swift arrows dart on glittering dart | B |
| Let but a rock glint green the wild goats follow | A |
| Glad grazing shyly on each sparse grown part | B |
| - | |
| Rolled into plunging torrents spring the fountains | C |
| And slope and vale and meadowland grow green | D |
| While on ridg'd levels of a hundred mountains | C |
| Far fleece by fleece the woolly flocks convene | D |
| - | |
| With measured stride deliberate and steady | E |
| The scattered cattle seek the beetling steep | F |
| But shelter for th' assembled herd is ready | E |
| In many hollows that the walled rocks heap | F |
| - | |
| The lairs of Pan and lo in murmuring places | G |
| In bushy clefts what woodland Nymphs arouse | H |
| Where full of yearning for the azure spaces | G |
| Tree crowding tree lifts high its heavy boughs | H |
| - | |
| Old forests where the gnarly oak stands regnant | E |
| Bristling with twigs that still repullulate | E |
| And swoln with spring with sappy sweetness pregnant | E |
| The maple blushes with its leafy weight | E |
| - | |
| And mother like in cirques of quiet shadows | I |
| Milk flows warm milk that keeps all things alive | J |
| Fruit is not far th' abundance of the meadows | I |
| And honey oozes from the hollow hive | J |
