Gipsies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBCC D EEFFFGG D HIJJJKK| There's a scent of pungent wood smoke in the chill October air | A |
| And a jack o' lantern glare a wild and dusky glare | A |
| 'Tis the brush that burns and smoulders in the woods and by the ways | B |
| The old New England ways | B |
| When Autumn plants her gipsy tents and camps with all her days | B |
| Along the shore among the hills beside the sounding sea | C |
| And fills the land with haze of dreams and fires of mystery | C |

| II | D |
| - | |
| There's a sound of crickets crooning and an owlet's quavering tune | E |
| And a rim of frosty moon a will o' wisp of moon | E |
| And a camp fire in a hollow of the ocean haunted hills | F |
| The old New England hills | F |
| When Autumn keeps her tryst with Earth and cures his soul of ills | F |
| And day and night he sits with her and hearkens to her dreams | G |
| While like a ghost her camp fire's smoke trails over woods and streams | G |
| - | |
| III | D |
| - | |
| A frantic rush of faded leaves a whirl of wind and rain | H |
| And she is gone again has struck her tents again | I |
| As Dawn comes up with cold grey eyes that chill to ice the land | J |
| The old New England land | J |
| Her tents are gone and she is gone and gone her gipsy band | J |
| And but a patteran of leaves to point her wandering way | K |
| And ashes of a fire she lit it seems but yesterday | K |
