Thanksgiving Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIJI KLKLMINI JOJOPDQD RSRTUVWV| Nature erewhile so marvelously lovely is bereft | A |
| Of her supernal charm | B |
| And with the few dead garlands of departed splendor left | A |
| Like crape upon her arm | B |
| In boreal hints and sudden gusts | C |
| That fan the glowing ember | D |
| By multitude of ways fulfills | E |
| The promise of November | D |
| - | |
| Upon the path where Beauty sylvan priestess sped away | F |
| Lies the rich afterglow | G |
| Of Indian Summer bringing round the happy holiday | F |
| That antedates the snow | G |
| The glad Thanksgiving time the cheer | H |
| The festival commotion | I |
| That stirs fraternal feeling from | J |
| The mountains to the ocean | I |
| - | |
| O Hospitality unclose thy bounty laden hand | K |
| In generous dealing where | L |
| Is gathered in reunion each long severed household band | K |
| And let no vacant chair | L |
| Show where the strongest brightest link | M |
| In love's dear chain is broken | I |
| A symbol more pathetic than | N |
| By language ever spoken | I |
| - | |
| Into the place held sacred to the memory of some | J |
| Beloved absentee | O |
| Perchance passed to the other shore oh let the stranger come | J |
| And in gratuity | O |
| Partake of festal favors that | P |
| Shall sweeten hours of labor | D |
| And strengthen amity and love | Q |
| Unto his friend and neighbor | D |
| - | |
| Let gratitude's pure incense in warm orisons ascend | R |
| A blessing to secure | S |
| And gracious impulse bearing largesse of good gifts extend | R |
| To all deserving poor | T |
| So may the day be hallowed by | U |
| Unstinted thanks and giving | V |
| In sweet remembrance of the dead | W |
| And kindness to the living | V |
