Indian Summer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE GGHIIH| A soft veil dims the tender skies | A |
| And half conceals from pensive eyes | A |
| The bronzing tokens of the fall | B |
| A calmness broods upon the hills | C |
| And summer's parting dream distills | C |
| A charm of silence over all | B |
| - | |
| The stacks of corn in brown array | D |
| Stand waiting through the placid day | D |
| Like tattered wigwams on the plain | E |
| The tribes that find a shelter there | F |
| Are phantom peoples forms of air | F |
| And ghosts of vanished joy and pain | E |
| - | |
| At evening when the crimson crest | G |
| Of sunset passes down the West | G |
| I hear the whispering host returning | H |
| On far off fields by elm and oak | I |
| I see the lights I smell the smoke | I |
| The Camp fires of the Past are burning | H |
