Harvest Time Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CC DD EE FF GG HH AI| Pillowed and hushed on the silent plain | A |
| Wrapped in her mantle of golden grain | A |
| - | |
| Wearied of pleasuring weeks away | B |
| Summer is lying asleep to day | B |
| - | |
| Where winds come sweet from the wild rose briers | C |
| And the smoke of the far off prairie fires | C |
| - | |
| Yellow her hair as the goldenrod | D |
| And brown her cheeks as the prairie sod | D |
| - | |
| Purple her eyes as the mists that dream | E |
| At the edge of some laggard sun drowned stream | E |
| - | |
| But over their depths the lashes sweep | F |
| For Summer is lying to day asleep | F |
| - | |
| The north wind kisses her rosy mouth | G |
| His rival frowns in the far off south | G |
| - | |
| And comes caressing her sunburnt cheek | H |
| And Summer awakes for one short week | H |
| - | |
| Awakes and gathers her wealth of grain | A |
| Then sleeps and dreams for a year again | I |
