January 1, 1828 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPGQRS CTUVWXY| Fleetly hath passed the year The seasons came | A |
| Duly as they are wont the gentle Spring | B |
| And the deliscious Summer and the cool | C |
| Rich Autumn with the nodding of the grain | D |
| And Winter like and old and hoary man | E |
| Frosty and stiff and are so chronicled | F |
| We have read gladness in the new green leaf | G |
| And in the first blown violets we have drunk | H |
| Cool water from the rock and in the shade | I |
| Sunk to the noontide slumber we have pluck'd | J |
| The mellow fruitage of the bending tree | K |
| And girded to our pleasant wanderings | L |
| When the cool wind came freshly from the hills | M |
| And when the tinting of the Autumn leaves | N |
| Had faded from its glory we have sat | O |
| By the good fires of Winter and rejoiced | P |
| Over the fulness of the gathered sheaf | G |
| 'God hath been very good ' 'Tis He whose hand | Q |
| Moulded the sunny hills and hollow'd out | R |
| The shelter of the valleys and doth keep | S |
| The fountains in their secret places cool | C |
| And it is he who leadeth up the sun | T |
| And ordereth the starry influences | U |
| And tempereth the keenness of the frost | V |
| And therefore in the plenty of the feast | W |
| And in the lifting of the cup let Him | X |
| Have praises for the well completed year | Y |
