The Hunter's Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAB CCDDCD EEFFEF GGHIGH| Darkly October Where the wild fowl fly | A |
| Utters a harsh and melancholy cry | A |
| And slowly closing far a sunset door | B |
| Day wildly glares upon the world once more | B |
| Where Twilight with one star to lamp her by | A |
| Walks with the Wind that haunts the hills and shore | B |
| - | |
| The Spirit of Autumn with averted gaze | C |
| Comes slowly down the ragged garden ways | C |
| And where she walks she lays a finger cold | D |
| On rose and aster lily and marigold | D |
| And at her touch they turn in mute amaze | C |
| And bow their heads assenting to the cold | D |
| - | |
| And all around rise phantoms of the flowers | E |
| Scents ghost like gliding from the dripping bowers | E |
| And evermore vague spectral voices ring | F |
| Of Something gone or Something perishing | F |
| Joy's requiem hope's tolling of the Hours | E |
| Love's dirge of dreams for Beauty sorrowing | F |
| - | |
| And now the moon above the garden side | G |
| Lifts a pale face and looks down misty eyed | G |
| As if she saw the ghost of yesteryear | H |
| That once with Happiness went wandering here | I |
| And the young Loveliness of days that died | G |
| Sitting with Memory 'mid the sad and sere | H |
