Nutting Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEC FFDGFFHG DDHIDDDI DDFFDDDF| The November sun invites me | A |
| And although the chill wind smites me | A |
| I will wander to the woodland | B |
| Where the laden trees await | C |
| And with loud and joyful singing | D |
| I will set the forest ringing | D |
| As if I were king of Autumn | E |
| And Dame Nature were my mate | C |
| - | |
| While the squirrel in his gambols | F |
| Fearless round about me ambles | F |
| As if he were bent on showing | D |
| In my kingdom he'd a share | G |
| While my warm blood leaps and dashes | F |
| And my eye with freedom flashes | F |
| As my soul drinks deep and deeper | H |
| Of the magic in the air | G |
| - | |
| There's a pleasure found in nutting | D |
| All life's cares and griefs outshutting | D |
| That is fuller far and better | H |
| Than what prouder sports impart | I |
| Who could help a carol trilling | D |
| As he sees the baskets filling | D |
| Why the flow of song keeps running | D |
| O'er the high walls of the heart | I |
| - | |
| So when I am home returning | D |
| When the sun is lowly burning | D |
| I will once more wake the echoes | F |
| With a happy song of praise | F |
| For the golden sunlight blessing | D |
| And the breezes' soft caressing | D |
| And the precious boon of living | D |
| In the sweet November days | F |
