Young September Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC D EEFFGGHHFF D IJIJAA K LLJJMIIINN| With a look and a laugh where the stream was flowing | A |
| September led me along the land | B |
| Where the golden rod and lobelia glowing | A |
| Seemed burning torches within her hand | B |
| And faint as the thistle's or milk weed's feather | C |
| I glimpsed her form through the sparkling weather | C |

| II | D |
| - | |
| Now 'twas her hand and now her hair | E |
| That tossed me welcome everywhere | E |
| That lured me onward through the stately rooms | F |
| Of forest hung and carpeted with glooms | F |
| And windowed wide with azure doored with green | G |
| Through which rich glimmers of her robe were seen | G |
| Now like some deep marsh mallow rosy gold | H |
| Now like the great Joe Pye weed fold on fold | H |
| Of heavy mauve and now like the intense | F |
| Massed iron weed a purple opulence | F |

| III | D |
| - | |
| Along the bank in a wild procession | I |
| Of gold and sapphire the blossoms blew | J |
| And borne on the breeze came their soft confession | I |
| In syllables musk of honey and dew | J |
| In words unheard that their lips kept saying | A |
| Sweet as the lips of children praying | A |
| - | |
| IV | K |
| - | |
| And so meseemed I heard them tell | L |
| How here her loving glance once fell | L |
| Upon this bank and from its azure grew | J |
| The ageratum mist flower's happy hue | J |
| How from her kiss as crimson as the dawn | M |
| The cardinal flow'r drew its vermilion | I |
| And from her hair's blond touch th' elecampane | I |
| Evolved the glory of its golden rain | I |
| While from her starry footsteps redolent | N |
| The aster pearled its flowery firmament | N |
