Rhyme Scheme: ABCABDD EFEEFGG HIHHIJJ KLKKLMM| November 'tis a summer's day | A |
| For tropic airs are blowing | B |
| As soft as whispered roundelay | C |
| From unseen lips that seem to say | A |
| To feathered songsters going | B |
| To sunnier southern climes afar | D |
| Stay where you are stay where you are | D |
| - | |
| And other tokens glad as these | E |
| Declare that Summer lingers | F |
| Round latent buds still hum the bees | E |
| Slow fades the green from forest trees | E |
| Ere Autumn's artist fingers | F |
| Have touched the landscape and instead | G |
| Brought out the amber brown and red | G |
| - | |
| The invalid may yet enjoy | H |
| His favorite recreation | I |
| Gay romping girl unfettered boy | H |
| In outdoor sports the time employ | H |
| And happy consummation | I |
| Of prudent plans the farmer know | J |
| Ere wintry breezes round him blow | J |
| - | |
| And they by poverty controlled | K |
| Good fortune shall betide them | L |
| As scenes of beauty they behold | K |
| And seem to revel in the gold | K |
| Which Plutus has denied them | L |
| For ah the poor from want's despair | M |
| Oft covet wealth they never share | M |
