The Lesser Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBA DEDEED| You are the first wild violet of the year | A |
| Young grass you are and apple bloom and spray | B |
| Of honeysuckle you are dawn of day | B |
| And the first snow fall It is you I hear | C |
| When the March robin calls me loud and clear | A |
| Or lonely rill goes singing on its way | B |
| Like some small flute of heav'n or when the gray | B |
| Sad wood dove calls and early stars appear | A |
| - | |
| And you it is within the wayside shrine | D |
| Carved tenderly and in the folded wings | E |
| On some neglected tomb and in the vine | D |
| And leaf and saint of old imaginings | E |
| On some forgotten missal little things | E |
| We would not barter for things more divine | D |
