The Harvest Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBBCBBCB| It is the Harvest Moon On gilded vanes | A |
| And roofs of villages on woodland crests | B |
| And their aerial neighborhoods of nests | B |
| Deserted on the curtained window panes | A |
| Of rooms where children sleep on country lanes | A |
| And harvest fields its mystic splendor rests | B |
| Gone are the birds that were our summer guests | B |
| With the last sheaves return the laboring wains | B |
| All things are symbols the external shows | B |
| Of Nature have their image in the mind | C |
| As flowers and fruits and falling of the leaves | B |
| The song birds leave us at the summer's close | B |
| Only the empty nests are left behind | C |
| And pipings of the quail among the sheaves | B |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
