A Dark Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CCCC CDCE CFCF| Though Summer walks the world to day | A |
| With corn crowned hours for her guard | B |
| Her thoughts have clad themselves in gray | A |
| And wait in Autumn's weedy yard | B |
| - | |
| And where the larkspur and the phlox | C |
| Spread carpets wheresoe'er she pass | C |
| She seems to stand with sombre locks | C |
| Bound bleak with fog washed zinnias | C |
| - | |
| Fall's terra cotta colored flowers | C |
| Whose disks the trickling wet has tinged | D |
| With dingy lustre when the bower's | C |
| Thin flame flecked leaves the frost has singed | E |
| - | |
| Or with slow feet 'mid gaunt gold blooms | C |
| Of marigolds her fingers twist | F |
| She seems to pass with Fall's perfumes | C |
| And dreams of sullen rain and mist | F |
