Song Iii: It Grew Up Without Heeding Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAB CDDCD ECCEC ABBAB| Love is enough it grew up without heeding | A |
| In the days when ye knew not its name nor its measure | B |
| And its leaflets untrodden by the light feet of pleasure | B |
| Had no boast of the blossom no sign of the seeding | A |
| As the morning and evening passed over its treasure | B |
| - | |
| And what do ye say then That Spring long departed | C |
| Has brought forth no child to the softness and showers | D |
| That we slept and we dreamed through the Summer of flowers | D |
| We dreamed of the Winter and waking dead hearted | C |
| Found Winter upon us and waste of dull hours | D |
| - | |
| Nay Spring was o'er happy and knew not the reason | E |
| And Summer dreamed sadly for she thought all was ended | C |
| In her fulness of wealth that might not be amended | C |
| But this is the harvest and the garnering season | E |
| And the leaf and the blossom in the ripe fruit are blended | C |
| - | |
| It sprang without sowing it grew without heeding | A |
| Ye knew not its name and ye knew not its measure | B |
| Ye noted it not mid your hope and your pleasure | B |
| There was pain in its blossom despair in its seeding | A |
| But daylong your bosom now nurseth its treasure | B |
