November Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ KLML| Red o er the forest peers the setting sun | A |
| The line of yellow light dies fast away | B |
| That crown d the eastern copse and chill and dun | A |
| Falls on the moor the brief November day | B |
| - | |
| Now the tired hunter winds a parting note | C |
| And Echo bids good night from every glade | D |
| Yet wait awhile and see the calm leaves float | C |
| Each to his rest beneath their parent shade | D |
| - | |
| How like decaying life they seem to glide | E |
| And yet no second spring have they in store | F |
| And where they fall forgotten to abide | E |
| Is all their portion and they ask no more | F |
| - | |
| Soon o er their heads blithe April airs shall sing | G |
| A thousand wild flowers round them shall unfold | H |
| The green buds glisten in the dews of Spring | G |
| And all be vernal rapture as of old | H |
| - | |
| Unconscious they in waste oblivion lie | I |
| In all the world of busy life around | J |
| No thought of them in all the bounteous sky | I |
| No drop for them of kindly influence found | J |
| - | |
| Man s portion is to die and rise again | K |
| Yet he complains while these unmurmuring part | L |
| With their sweet lives as pure from sin and stain | M |
| As his when Eden held his virgin heart | L |
