The August Weeds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEAE AFGF FAHA FAFA AFAF FFIF JDKD AFAF LMFE| I wandered between woods | A |
| On a grassy down when still | B |
| Clouds hung after rain | C |
| Over hollow and hill | B |
| - | |
| The blossom time was over | D |
| The singing throats dumb | E |
| And the year's coloured ripeness | A |
| Not yet come | E |
| - | |
| And all at unawares | A |
| Surprising the stray sight | F |
| Ran straight into my heart | G |
| Like a beam delight | F |
| - | |
| Negligent weeds ravelled | F |
| The green edge of the copse | A |
| Whitely dimly sparkling | H |
| With a million drops | A |
| - | |
| And sudden fancy feigned | F |
| What strange beauty would pass | A |
| Did but a shiver of wind | F |
| Tremble through the grass | A |
| - | |
| Shaking the poised round drops | A |
| Spilled and softly rolled | F |
| A glitter from the ragworth's | A |
| Roughened gold | F |
| - | |
| From the rusted scarlet | F |
| Of tall sorrel seed | F |
| And fretted tufts frost gray | I |
| Of the silver weed | F |
| - | |
| And from purple downed thistle | J |
| Towering dewy over | D |
| Yellow cupped spurge | K |
| And the drenched sweet clover | D |
| - | |
| But all were motionless | A |
| Not one breath shed | F |
| Those little pale pearls | A |
| That an elf might thread | F |
| - | |
| Under a fading moon | L |
| By an old thorn tree | M |
| For the witching throat | F |
| Of Nimu | E |
