The Harvest Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEEFGG HIHJKLKLLMLLNLL| Globed in Heav'n's tree of azure golden mellow | A |
| As some round apple hung | B |
| High in hesperian boughs thou hangest yellow | A |
| The branch like mists among | B |
| Within thy light a sunburnt youth named Health | C |
| Rests 'mid the tasseled shocks the tawny stubble | D |
| And by his side clad on with rustic wealth | C |
| Of field and farm beneath thy amber bubble | D |
| A nut brown maid Content sits smiling still | E |
| While through the quiet trees | F |
| The mossy rocks the grassy hill | E |
| Thy silvery spirit glides to yonder mill | E |
| Around whose wheel the breeze | F |
| And shimmering ripples of the water play | G |
| As by their mother little children may | G |

| Sweet spirit of the moon who walkest lifting | H |
| Exhaustless on thy arm | I |
| A pearly vase of fire through the shifting | H |
| Cloud halls of calm and storm | J |
| Pour down thy blossoms let me hear them come | K |
| Pelting with noiseless light the twinkling thickets | L |
| Making the darkness audible with the hum | K |
| Of many insect creatures grigs and crickets | L |
| Until it seems the elves hold revelries | L |
| By haunted stream and grove | M |
| Or in the night's deep peace | L |
| The young old presence of Earth's full increase | L |
| Seems telling thee her love | N |
| Ere lying down she turns to rest and smiles | L |
| Hearing thy heart beat through the myriad miles | L |
