Late October Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD AEAEAE AAAAAA FGFGFH IAIAIA JAKAJA LALAIA| Ah haughty hills sardonic solitudes | A |
| What wizard touch hath crowning you with gold | B |
| Cast Tyrian purple o'er broad shouldered woods | A |
| And to your pride anointed empire sold | B |
| For wan traditioned death whose misty moods | A |
| Shake each huge throne of quarried shadows cold | B |
| - | |
| Now where the agate foliaged forests sleep | C |
| Bleak briars are ruby berried and the brush | D |
| Flames when the winds armsful of motion heap | C |
| In wincing gusts upon it amber blush | D |
| The beech an inner beryle breaks from deep | C |
| Encrusting topaz of a sullen flush | D |
| - | |
| Dead gold dead bronze dull amethystine rose | A |
| Rose cameo in day's gray somber spar | E |
| Of smoky quartz intaglioed beauty glows | A |
| Luxuriance of color Trunks that are | E |
| Vast organs antheming the winds' wild woes | A |
| A faded sun and pale night's paler star | E |
| - | |
| Bulged from its cup the dark brown acorn falls | A |
| And by its gnarly saucer in the streams | A |
| Swells plumped and here the spikey spruce gum balls | A |
| Rust maces of an ouphen host that dreams | A |
| Beneath the chestnut the split burry hulls | A |
| Disgorge fat purses of sleek satin gleams | A |
| - | |
| Burst silver white nods an exploded husk | F |
| Of snowy woolly smoke the milk weed's puff | G |
| Along the orchard's fence where in the dusk | F |
| And ashen weeds as some grim Satyr's rough | G |
| Red breezy cheeks burn thro' his beard the brusque | F |
| Crab apples laugh wind tumbled from above | H |
| - | |
| Runs thro' the wasted leaves the crickets' click | I |
| Which saddest coignes of Melancholy cheers | A |
| One bird unto the sumach flits to pick | I |
| Red sour seeds and thro' the woods one hears | A |
| The drop of gummy walnuts the railed rick | I |
| Looms tawny in the field where low the steers | A |
| - | |
| Some slim bud bound Leimoniad hath flocked | J |
| The birds to Echo's shores where flossy foams | A |
| Boom low long cream white cliffs Where once buzzed | K |
| Unmillioned bees within unmillioned blooms | A |
| One hairy hummer cramps one bloom frost mocked rocked | J |
| A miser whose rich hives squeeze oozing combs | A |
| - | |
| Twist some lithe maple and right suddenly | L |
| A leafy storm of stars about you breaks | A |
| Some Hamadryad's tears Unto her knee | L |
| Wading the Naiad clears her brook that streaks | A |
| Thro' wadded waifs Hark Pan for Helike | I |
| Flutes melancholy by the minty creeks | A |
