Spring's Promises Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CDCDC AEFEG HIHIH| When the spring comes again will you be there | A |
| Three springs I watched and waited for your face | B |
| And listened for your voice upon the air | A |
| I sought for you in many a hidden place | B |
| Saying She must be there | A |
| - | |
| Surely some magic slumber holds her fast | C |
| She whose blue eyes were morning's earliest flowers | D |
| I sighed and one by one before me passed | C |
| The rainbowed daughters of the vernal showers | D |
| Saying She comes at last | C |
| - | |
| Ah broken promise of the world how fair | A |
| You speak young hearts In many a wanton word | E |
| Of lyric April each succeeding year | F |
| By risen flower and the returning bird | E |
| You vowed to bring back her | G |
| - | |
| And now the flutes are in the trees once more | H |
| The violets breathe up through the melting snow | I |
| Old Earth throws open wide her grassy door | H |
| As if there were no violets long ago | I |
| Or any birds before | H |
