October Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEFGF HIJIEIEFKF LMNOPOEFQF| IT is no joy to me to sit | A |
| On dreamy summer eves | B |
| When silently the timid moon | C |
| Kisses the sleeping leaves | B |
| And all things through the fair hushed earth | D |
| Love rest but nothing grieves | B |
| Better I like old Autumn | E |
| With his hair tossed to and fro | F |
| Firm striding o'er the stubble fields | G |
| When the equinoctials blow | F |
| - | |
| When shrinkingly the sun creeps up | H |
| Through misty mornings cold | I |
| And Robin on the orchard hedge | J |
| Sings cheerily and bold | I |
| While the frosted plum | E |
| Drops downward on the mould | I |
| And as he passes Autumn | E |
| Into earth's lap does throw | F |
| Brown apples gay in a game of play | K |
| As the equinoctials blow | F |
| - | |
| When the spent year its carol sinks | L |
| Into a humble psalm | M |
| Asks no more for the pleasure draught | N |
| But for the cup of balm | O |
| And all its storms and sunshine bursts | P |
| Controls to one brave calm | O |
| Then step by step walks Autumn | E |
| With steady eyes that show | F |
| Nor grief nor fear to the death of the year | Q |
| While the equinoctials blow | F |
