Sonnet Lxix: Autumn Idleness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| This sunlight shames November where he grieves | A |
| In dead red leaves and will not let him shun | B |
| The day though bough with bough be over run | B |
| But with a blessing every glade receives | A |
| High salutation while from hillock eaves | A |
| The deer gaze calling dappled white and dun | B |
| As if being foresters of old the sun | B |
| Had marked them with the shade of forest leaves | A |
| Here dawn to day unveiled her magic glass | C |
| Here noon now gives the thirst and takes the dew | D |
| Till eve bring rest when other good things pass | C |
| And here the lost hours the lost hours renew | D |
| While I still lead my shadow o'er the grass | C |
| Nor know for longing that which I should do | D |
