A Conceit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH| The Grey beard Winter sat alone and still | A |
| Locking his treasures in the flinty earth | B |
| And like a miser comfortless and chill | A |
| Frown'd upon pleasure and rejected mirth | B |
| - | |
| But Spring came gentle Spring the young the fair | C |
| And with her smiles subdued his frosty heart | D |
| So that for very joy to see her there | C |
| His soul relenting play'd the lover's part | D |
| - | |
| And nought could bring too lovely or too sweet | E |
| To lavish on the bright Evangel's head | F |
| No flowers too radiant for her tender feet | E |
| No joys too blissful o'er her life to shed | F |
| - | |
| And thus the land became a Paradise | G |
| A new made Eden redolent of joy | H |
| Where beauty blossom'd under sunny skies | I |
| And peaceful pleasure reign'd without alloy | H |
