Spring's Bedfellow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD DEDF DGDG HIHI| Spring went about the woods to day | A |
| The soft foot winter thief | B |
| And found where idle sorrow lay | A |
| Twixt flower and faded leaf | B |
| She looked on him and found him fair | C |
| For all she had been told | D |
| She knelt adown beside him there | C |
| And sang of days of old | D |
| - | |
| His open eyes beheld her nought | D |
| Yet gan his lips to move | E |
| But life and deeds were in her thought | D |
| And he would sing of love | F |
| - | |
| So sang they till their eyes did meet | D |
| And faded fear and shame | G |
| More bold he grew and she more sweet | D |
| Until they sang the same | G |
| - | |
| Until say they who know the thing | H |
| Their very lips did kiss | I |
| And Sorrow laid abed with Spring | H |
| Begat an earthly bliss | I |
