November Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBBCCBDEFGEF A HIIIIIIICIJCIKI | A |
The shivering wind sits in the oaks whose limbs | B |
Twisted and tortured nevermore are still | C |
Grief and decay sit with it they whose chill | C |
Autumnal touch makes hectic red the rims | B |
Of all the oak leaves desolating dims | B |
The ageratum's blue that banks the rill | C |
And splits the milkweed's pod upon the hill | C |
And shakes it free of the last seed that swims | B |
Down goes the day despondent to its close | D |
And now the sunset's hands of copper build | E |
A tower of brass behind whose burning bars | F |
The day in fierce barbarian repose | G |
Like some imprisoned Inca sits hate filled | E |
Crowned with the gold corymbus of the stars | F |

There is a booming in the forest boughs | H |
Tremendous feet seem trampling through the trees | I |
The storm is at his wildman revelries | I |
And earth and heaven echo his carouse | I |
Night reels with tumult and from out her house | I |
Of cloud the moon looks like a face one sees | I |
In nightmare hurrying with pale eyes that freeze | I |
Stooping above with white malignant brows | I |
The isolated oak upon the hill | C |
That seemed at sunset in terrific lands | I |
A Titan head black in a sea of blood | J |
Now seems a monster harp whose wild strings thrill | C |
To the vast fingering of innumerable hands | I |
Spirits of tempest and of solitude | K |
