A Golden Hour Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| A beckoning spirit of gladness seemed afloat | A |
| That lightly danced in laughing air before us | B |
| The earth was all in tune and you a note | A |
| Of Nature's happy chorus | B |
| - | |
| 'Twas like a vernal morn yet overhead | C |
| The leafless boughs across the lane were knitting | D |
| The ghost of some forgotten Spring we said | C |
| O'er Winter's world comes flitting | D |
| - | |
| Or was it Spring herself that gone astray | E |
| Beyond the alien frontier chose to tarry | F |
| Or but some bold outrider of the May | E |
| Some April emissary | F |
| - | |
| The apparition faded on the air | G |
| Capricious and incalculable comer | H |
| Wilt thou too pass and leave my chill days bare | G |
| And fall'n my phantom Summer | H |
