Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDDEE FGFGHHEE IJIJAAEE| From the French of Charles D'Orleans Fifteenth Century | A |
| - | |
| Gentle Spring in sunshine clad | B |
| Well dost thou thy power display | C |
| For Winter maketh the light heart sad | B |
| And thou thou makest the sad heart gay | C |
| He sees thee and calls to his gloomy train | D |
| The sleet and the snow and the wind and the rain | D |
| And they shrink away and they flee in fear | E |
| When thy merry step draws near | E |
| - | |
| Winter giveth the fields and the trees so old | F |
| Their beards of icicles and snow | G |
| And the rain it raineth so fast and cold | F |
| We must cower over the embers low | G |
| And snugly housed from the wind and weather | H |
| Mope like birds that are changing feather | H |
| But the storm retires and the sky grows clear | E |
| When thy merry step draws near | E |
| - | |
| Winter maketh the sun in the gloomy sky | I |
| Wrap him round with a mantle of cloud | J |
| But Heaven be praised thy step is nigh | I |
| Thou tearest away the mournful shroud | J |
| And the earth looks bright and Winter surly | A |
| Who has toiled for nought both late and early | A |
| Is banished afar by the new born year | E |
| When thy merry step draws near | E |
