October Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBCEDAFDCDEGFHGHD D| The green elm with the one great bough of gold | A |
| Lets leaves into the grass slip one by one | B |
| The short hill grass the mushrooms small milk white | C |
| Harebell and scabious and tormentil | D |
| That blackberry and gorse in dew and sun | B |
| Bow down to and the wind travels too light | C |
| To shake the fallen birch leaves from the fern | E |
| The gossamers wander at their own will | D |
| At heavier steps than birds' the squirrels scold | A |
| The rich scene has grown fresh again and new | F |
| As Spring and to the touch is not more cool | D |
| Than it is warm to the gaze and now I might | C |
| As happy be as earth is beautiful | D |
| Were I some other or with earth could turn | E |
| In alternation of violet and rose | G |
| Harebell and snowdrop at their season due | F |
| And gorse that has no time not to be gay | H |
| But if this be not happiness who knows | G |
| Some day I shall think this a happy day | H |
| And this mood by the name of melancholy | D |
| Shall no more blackened and obscured be | D |
