My Calendar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJAKAK| From off my calendar today | A |
| A leaf I tear | B |
| So swiftly passes smiling May | A |
| Without a care | B |
| And now the gentleness of June | C |
| Will fleetly fly | D |
| And I will greet the glamour moon | C |
| Of lush July | D |
| - | |
| Beloved months so soon to pass | E |
| Alas I see | F |
| The slim sand silvering the glass | E |
| Of Time for me | F |
| As bodingly midwinter woe | G |
| I wait with rue | H |
| Oh how I grudge the days to go | G |
| They are so few | H |
| - | |
| A Calendar's a gayful thing | I |
| To grace a room | J |
| And though with joy of life I sing | I |
| With secret gloom | J |
| I add this merry month of May | A |
| To eighty past | K |
| Thinking each page I tear away | A |
| May be my last | K |
