Sonnets - Ii - The New Year Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEDEDE| With supple boughs and new born leaflets crowned | A |
| Rejoicing in fresh verdure stands the tree | B |
| Though weather scarred and scooped by fire may be | B |
| Its ancient trunk So may our lives be found | A |
| God leaving still our roots within His ground | A |
| Where gaps of loss and waste show brokenly | C |
| May each new year that comes to greet us see | B |
| Branches and foliage and flowers abound | A |
| Where Fortune spoiling wayfarer hath left | D |
| Unsightly rents may garlands spring apace | E |
| And if perchance some pitiless wind hath reft | D |
| Away what newer green shall ne'er replace | E |
| May heaven light come the closer for the cleft | D |
| O'er which no tender fronds shall interlace | E |
