Thanksgiving Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD ECEC CFCF CGCG CHCH DIDJ| The Autumn hills are golden at the top | A |
| And rounded as a poet's silver rhyme | B |
| The mellow days are ruby ripe that drop | A |
| One after one into the lap of time | B |
| - | |
| Dead leaves are reddening in the woodland copse | C |
| And forest boughs a fading glory wear | D |
| No breath of wind stirs in their hazy tops | C |
| Silence and peace are brooding everywhere | D |
| - | |
| The long day of the year is almost done | E |
| And nature in the sunset musing stands | C |
| Gray robed and violet hooded like a nun | E |
| Looking abroad o'er yellow harvest lands | C |
| - | |
| O'er tents of orchard boughs and purple vines | C |
| With scarlet flecked flung like broad banners out | F |
| Along the field paths where slow pacing lines | C |
| Of meek eyed kine obey the herdboy's shout | F |
| - | |
| Where the tired ploughman his dun oxen turns | C |
| Unyoked afield mid dewy grass to stray | G |
| While over all the village church spire burns | C |
| A shaft of flame in the last beams of day | G |
| - | |
| Empty and folded are her busy hands | C |
| Her corn and wine and oil are safely stored | H |
| As in the twilight of the year she stands | C |
| And with her gladness seems to thank the Lord | H |
| - | |
| Thus let us rest awhile from toil and care | D |
| In the sweet sabbath of this autumn calm | I |
| And lift our hearts to heaven in grateful prayer | D |
| And sing with nature our thanksgiving psalm | J |
