The early days of spring
Are sweetest to behold,
Oh hear the robin sing,
A floret will unfold,

And petal by petal   
Cloak the world in bloom,
Burst ye season's fettle  
From nature's sacred womb,

Rosy in zest and hue   
Nests in tender amour,
What's innocent and true
Was but once a spore,

Then the spell is spent,
Alas! The laconic span,
Recede the honeyed scent,
How fickle the love of man.
My attempt at shadowing Frost.

Oh, c'est vrai belle. The rhyme is standard and traditionally applied in sonnet or ode form, and the words are well-chosen and not trite. Oui, l'amour des hommes est comme ca. Fickle as the changing seasons ans so hard to find a love that does not change so fast. Triste.
Now about the mechanics or poetique.
As said, the rhyme is a traditional schemer of a-b-a-b, c- -c-d etc. This has been successful through the centuries. You have done it more justice than many others, ami. The content is a good comparison [metaphor] of love and the seasons. Bon! Thank you for a true poem.
