The Year's Awakening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE FFGHIIJJEE| How do you know that the pilgrim track | A |
| Along the belting zodiac | A |
| Swept by the sun in his seeming rounds | B |
| Is traced by now to the Fishes' bounds | B |
| And into the Ram when weeks of cloud | C |
| Have wrapt the sky in a clammy shroud | C |
| And never as yet a tinct of spring | D |
| Has shown in the Earth's apparelling | D |
| O vespering bird how do you know | E |
| How do you know | E |
| - | |
| How do you know deep underground | F |
| Hid in your bed from sight and sound | F |
| Without a turn in temperature | G |
| With weather life can scarce endure | H |
| That light has won a fraction's strength | I |
| And day put on some moments' length | I |
| Whereof in merest rote will come | J |
| Weeks hence mild airs that do not numb | J |
| O crocus root how do you know | E |
| How do you know | E |
