The Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGHIIJJKK LLDD| Now that the winter's gone the earth hath lost | A |
| Her snow white robes and now no more the frost | A |
| Candies the grass or casts an icy cream | B |
| Upon the silver lake or crystal stream | B |
| But the warm sun thaws the benumbed earth | C |
| And makes it tender gives a sacred birth | C |
| To the dead swallow wakes in hollow tree | D |
| The drowsy cuckoo and the humble bee | D |
| Now do a choir of chirping minstrels bring | E |
| In triumph to the world the youthful Spring | E |
| The valleys hills and woods in rich array | F |
| Welcome the coming of the long'd for May | F |
| Now all things smile only my love doth lour | G |
| Nor hath the scalding noonday sun the power | H |
| To melt that marble ice which still doth hold | I |
| Her heart congeal'd and makes her pity cold | I |
| The ox which lately did for shelter fly | J |
| Into the stall doth now securely lie | J |
| In open fields and love no more is made | K |
| By the fireside but in the cooler shade | K |
| Amyntas now doth with his Chloris sleep | L |
| Under a sycamore and all things keep | L |
| Time with the season only she doth carry | D |
| June in her eyes in her heart January | D |
