North Wind In October Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCBDC EFG HIHGIJJHGGG| In the golden glade the chestnuts are fallen all | A |
| From the sered boughs of the oak the acorns fall | A |
| The beech scatters her ruddy fire | B |
| The lime hath stripped to the cold | C |
| And standeth naked above her yellow attire | B |
| The larch thinneth her spire | D |
| To lay the ways of the wood with cloth of gold | C |
| - | |
| Out of the golden green and white Of the brake the fir trees stand upright | E |
| In the forest of flame and wave aloft | F |
| To the blue of heaven their blue green tuftings soft | G |
| - | |
| But swiftly in shuddering gloom the splendours fail | H |
| As the harrying North wind beareth | I |
| A cloud of skirmishing hail | H |
| The grieved woodland to smite | G |
| In a hurricane through the trees he teareth | I |
| Raking the boughs and the leaves rending | J |
| And whistleth to the descending | J |
| Blows of his icy flail | H |
| Gold and snow he mixeth in spite | G |
| And whirleth afar as away on his winnowing flight | G |
| He passeth and all again for ahile is bright | G |
