Late October Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD AEAEAE AAAAAA FGFGFH IAIAIA JAKAJA LALAIAAh 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 |
