Desespoir Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDA EFGGFEThe seasons send their ruin as they go | A |
For in the spring the narciss shows its head | B |
Nor withers till the rose has flamed to red | B |
And in the autumn purple violets blow | A |
And the slim crocus stirs the winter snow | A |
Wherefore yon leafless trees will bloom again | C |
And this grey land grow green with summer rain | D |
And send up cowslips for some boy to mow | A |
- | |
But what of life whose bitter hungry sea | E |
Flows at our heels and gloom of sunless night | F |
Covers the days which never more return | G |
Ambition love and all the thoughts that burn | G |
We lose too soon and only find delight | F |
In withered husks of some dead memory | E |
