The End Of April Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC ABABBCBC ABABBCBC BCBC| This is the time when larks are singing loud | A |
| And higher still ascending and more high | B |
| This is the time when many a fleecy cloud | A |
| Runs lamb like on the pastures of the sky | B |
| This is the time when most I love to lie | B |
| Stretched on the links now listening to the sea | C |
| Now looking at the train that dawdles by | B |
| But James is going in for his degree | C |
| - | |
| James is my brother He has twice been ploughed | A |
| Yet he intends to have another shy | B |
| Hoping to pass as he says in a crowd | A |
| Sanguine is James but not so sanguine I | B |
| If you demand my reason I reply | B |
| Because he reads no Greek without a key | C |
| And spells Thucydides c i d y | B |
| Yet James is going in for his degree | C |
| - | |
| No doubt if the authorities allowed | A |
| The taking in of Bohns he might defy | B |
| The stiffest paper that has ever cowed | A |
| A timid candidate and made him fly | B |
| Without such aids he all as well may try | B |
| To cultivate the people of Dundee | C |
| Or lead the camel through the needle's eye | B |
| Yet James is going in for his degree | C |
| - | |
| Vain are the efforts hapless mortals ply | B |
| To climb of knowledge the forbidden tree | C |
| Yet still about its roots they strive and cry | B |
| And James is going in for his degree | C |
