My Calendar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJAKAKFrom 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 |
