After The Vintage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAB CDCCCD EFEEEF GHGGGH IJIIIJ KLKKKL| How can my vineyard's charm be told | A |
| As it basks in the autumn haze | B |
| The Frost King's touch so light and cold | A |
| Like that of the Persian king of old | A |
| Hath turned its roof from green to gold | A |
| Till the hillside seems ablaze | B |
| - | |
| Threading its maze of arbors fair | C |
| Under its saffron bowers | D |
| I watch in the crisp November air | C |
| Through vine framed openings here and there | C |
| The ivied walls of castles rare | C |
| And ruined Roman towers | D |
| - | |
| Sapphire blue is the cloudless sky | E |
| White are the mountain walls | F |
| Rainbow hued are the tints that lie | E |
| Lavishly spread on the forests high | E |
| Where leaves by millions flame and die | E |
| As the chill of Autumn falls | F |
| - | |
| Over the slopes in sun and shade | G |
| The terraced vines descend | H |
| Like stately steps of a broad cascade | G |
| Or an amphitheatre's seats arrayed | G |
| In folds of sumptuous gold brocade | G |
| Where red and amber blend | H |
| - | |
| I love to see from the rising sun | I |
| Each terrace gain its crown | J |
| When the splendid dawn hath just begun | I |
| From the crest of the mountain it hath won | I |
| To gild the vine rows one by one | I |
| As the mellow glow creeps down | J |
| - | |
| And when the day's receding light | K |
| Deserts the vale below | L |
| I trace its noiseless upward flight | K |
| Through darkening zones of foliage bright | K |
| Till all the world is lost in night | K |
| Save pyramids of snow | L |
