March Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDD EFEFFG HIHBBJ| Slayer of the winter art thou here again | A |
| O welcome thou that's bring'st the summer nigh | B |
| The bitter wind makes not thy victory vain | C |
| Nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue sky | B |
| Welcome O March whose kindly days and dry | B |
| Make April ready for the throstle's song | D |
| Thou first redresser of the winter's wrong | D |
| - | |
| Yea welcome March and though I die ere June | E |
| Yet for the hope of life I give thee praise | F |
| Striving to swell the burden of the tune | E |
| That even now I hear thy brown birds raise | F |
| Unmindful of the past or coming days | F |
| Who sing 'Oh joy a new year is begun | G |
| What happiness to look upon the sun ' | - |
| - | |
| Ah what begetteth all this storm of bliss | H |
| But death himself who crying solemnly | I |
| E'en from the heart of sweet Forgetfulness | H |
| Bids us 'Rejoice lest pleasureless ye die | B |
| Within a little time must ye go by | B |
| Stretch forth your open hands and while ye live | J |
| Take all the gifts that Death and Life may give ' | - |
