Tall Ambrosia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGCHIHEJHHEE| Among the signs of autumn I perceive | A |
| The Roman wormwood called by learned men | B |
| Ambrosia elatior food for gods | C |
| For to impartial science the humblest weed | D |
| Is as immortal once as the proudest flower | E |
| Sprinkles its yellow dust over my shoes | F |
| As I cross the now neglected garden | G |
| We trample under foot the food of gods | C |
| And spill their nectar in each dropp of dew | H |
| My honest shoes fast friends that never stray | I |
| Far from my couch thus powdered countryfied | H |
| Bearing many a mile the marks of their adventure | E |
| At the post house disgrace the Gallic gloss | J |
| Of those well dressed ones who no morning dew | H |
| Nor Roman wormwood ever have been through | H |
| Who never walk but are transported rather | E |
| For what old crime of theirs I do not gather | E |
