September Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFD GHGHIIJKKJ LMLMNNOHOOH| SEPTEMBER with her brushes dipped in dazzling red and gold | A |
| Now comes to paint the valleys and the hills | B |
| And we forget completely that the year is getting old | A |
| As we gaze upon the color that she spills | B |
| For all that we remember | C |
| Are the glories of September | C |
| The bloom upon the peaches and the gold upon the grain | D |
| The apples red with blushes | E |
| From September's crimson brushes | F |
| The glory of the hill tops and the splendor of the plain | D |
| - | |
| September magic artist comes again to paint the trees | G |
| Comes again to crown with beauty Mother Earth | H |
| And she'll touch with gold or crimson every humble plant she sees | G |
| Without questioning its merit or its worth | H |
| And the eye that looks to see | I |
| On the frailest little tree | I |
| Will behold a touch of glory where September it caressed | J |
| And the poorest little bloom | K |
| That is soon to meet its doom | K |
| Will be nodding in the sunshine with the proudest richly dressed | J |
| - | |
| And September makes me think as I watch her splashing paints | L |
| Over every living thing underneath the skies today | M |
| That the poorest of us here when he goes to join the saints | L |
| Will receive a touch of glory in the very self same way | M |
| That the humblest of the lot | N |
| In the end won't be forgot | N |
| As September crowns with beauty all the works of | O |
| Mother Earth | H |
| So the gentle God above | O |
| In His mercy and His love | O |
| In the frailest of his creatures will find something that's of worth | H |
