When From The Sod The Flow'rets Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD CECFBBGG HBHBIIB| When from the sod the flow'rets spring | A |
| And smile to meet the sun's bright ray | B |
| When birds their sweetest carols sing | A |
| In all them morning pride of May | B |
| What lovelier than the prospect there | C |
| Can earth boast any thing more fair | C |
| To me it seems an almost heaven | D |
| So beauteous to my eyes that vision bright is given | D |
| - | |
| But when a lady chaste and fair | C |
| Noble and clad in rich attire | E |
| Walks through the throng with gracious air | C |
| As sun that bids the stars retire | F |
| Then where are all thy boastings May | B |
| What hast thou beautiful and gay | B |
| Compared with that supreme delight | G |
| We leave thy loveliest flowers and watch that lady bright | G |
| - | |
| Wouldst thou believe me come and place | H |
| Before thee all this pride of May | B |
| Then look but on my lady's face | H |
| And which is best and brightest say | B |
| For me how soon if choice were mine | I |
| This would I take and that resign | I |
| And say 'Though sweet thy beauties May | B |
| I'd rather forfeit all than lose my lady gay ' | - |
