Indian Summer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH

The old grey year is near his term in soothA
And now with backward eye and soft laid palmB
Awakens to a golden dream of youthA
A second childhood lovely and most calmB
And the smooth hour about his misty headC
An awning of enchanted splendour weavesD
Of maples amber purple and rose redC
And droop limbed elms down dropping golden leavesD
With still half fallen lids he sits and dreamsE
Far in a hollow of the sunlit woodF
Lulled by the murmur of thin threading streamsE
Nor sees the polar armies overfloodF
The darkening barriers of the hills nor hearsG
The north wind ringing with a thousand spearsH
