Playmates Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEEEEEEEEFEFE EGEGEHEHCICI| SUMMER fervors slacken | A |
| Sumac torches dim | B |
| There's bronze upon the bracken | A |
| September has a whim | B |
| For carmine pearl and amber | C |
| Touches on her green | D |
| Busy squirrels clamber | C |
| Restless birds convene | D |
| Where Indian pipe still blanches | E |
| Where hoary lichen flakes | E |
| Forest trunks and branches | E |
| The golden foxglove makes | E |
| A mimic wood that tosses | E |
| Warning to the trees | E |
| Then droops upon the mosses | E |
| Heavy with bloom and bees | E |
| What rumbelow of revel | F |
| Deep in those honey jars | E |
| A saffron moth with level | F |
| And languid motion stars | E |
| The air until he settles | E |
| At the last pink clover inn | G |
| Ignoring prouder petals | E |
| That would his favor win | G |
| Among those wildwood vagrants | E |
| I strolled alone no more | H |
| Was it the sweet fern fragrance | E |
| That stirred a long sealed door | H |
| Of Time's enchanted tower | C |
| A little maid ran free | I |
| And for one sunny hour | C |
| My childhood played with me | I |
