The Swallows. From Jean Pierre Claris Florian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDF GHIHJBJ KLKLJMJM

I love to see the swallows comeA
At my window twitteringB
Bringing from their southern homeC
News of the approaching springB
'Last year's nest ' they softly sayD
'Last year's love again shall seeE
Only faithful lovers mayD
Tell you of the coming glee 'F
-
When the first fell touch of frostG
Strips the wood of faded leavesH
Calling all their winged hostI
The swallows meet above the eavesH
'Come away away ' they cryJ
'Winter's snow is hasteningB
True hearts winter comes not nighJ
They are ever in the spring '-
-
If by some unhappy fateK
Victim of a cruel mindL
One is parted from her mateK
And within a cage confinedL
Swiftly will the swallow dieJ
Pining for her lover's bowerM
And her lover watching nighJ
Dies beside her in an hourM
