Books And Seasons Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Because the sky is blue because blithe May | A |
| Masks in the wren's note and the lilac's hue | B |
| Because in fine because the sky is blue | B |
| I will read none but piteous tales to day | A |
| Keep happy laughter till the skies be gray | A |
| And the sad season cypress wears and rue | B |
| Then when the wind is moaning in the flue | B |
| And ways are dark bid Chaucer make us gay | A |
| But now a little sadness All too sweet | C |
| This springtide riot this most poignant air | D |
| This sensuous world of color and perfume | E |
| So listen love while I the woes repeat | C |
| Of Hamlet and Ophelia and that pair | D |
| Whose bridal bed was builded in a tomb | E |
