Sonnet Lxix: Autumn Idleness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCDThis 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 |
