Buried Treasure Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH GIJKELEL GMGMGNGN| When the musicians hide away their faces | A |
| And all the petals of the rose are shed | B |
| And snow is drifting through the happy places | A |
| And the last cricket's heart is cold and dead | B |
| O Joy where shall we find thee | C |
| O Love where shall we seek | D |
| For summer is behind thee | C |
| And cold is winter's cheek | D |
| - | |
| Where shall I find me violets in December | E |
| O tell me where the wood thrush sings to day | F |
| Ah heart our summer love dost thou remember | E |
| Where it lies hidden safe and warm away | F |
| When woods once more are ringing | G |
| With sweet birds on the bough | H |
| And brooks once more are singing | G |
| Will it be there thinkst thou | H |
| - | |
| When Autumn came through bannered woodlands sighing | G |
| We found a place of moonlight and of tears | I |
| And there with yellow leaves for it to lie in | J |
| Left it to dream watched over by the spheres | K |
| It lies like buried treasure | E |
| Beneath the winter's cold | L |
| The love beyond all measure | E |
| In heaps of living gold | L |
| - | |
| When April's here with all her sweet adorning | G |
| And all the joys steal back December hid | M |
| Shall we not laughing run some happy morning | G |
| And of our treasure lift the leafy lid | M |
| Again to find it dreaming | G |
| Just as we left it still | N |
| Our treasure far out gleaming | G |
| Crocus and daffodil | N |
