The Widow's Lament In Springtime Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJJKKLMINOPQ RSTJUVJOSorrow is my own yard | A |
where the new grass | B |
flames as it has flamed | C |
often before but not | D |
with the cold fire | E |
that closes round me this year | F |
Thirtyfive years | G |
I lived with my husband | H |
The plumtree is white today | I |
with masses of flowers | J |
Masses of flowers | J |
load the cherry branches | K |
and color some bushes | K |
yellow and some red | L |
but the grief in my heart | M |
is stronger than they | I |
for though they were my joy | N |
formerly today I notice them | O |
and turn away forgetting | P |
Today my son told me | Q |
that in the meadows | R |
at the edge of the heavy woods | S |
in the distance he saw | T |
trees of white flowers | J |
I feel that I would like | U |
to go there | V |
and fall into those flowers | J |
and sink into the marsh near them | O |
