The Autumn Thistles Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEFDEF| The morning sky is white with mist the earth | A |
| White with the inspiration of the dew | B |
| The harvest light is on the hills anew | B |
| And cheer in the grave acres' fruitful girth | A |
| Only in this high pasture is there dearth | A |
| Where the gray thistles crowd in ranks austere | C |
| As if the sod close cropt for many a year | C |
| Brought only bane and bitterness to birth | A |
| - | |
| But in the crisp air's amethystine wave | D |
| How the harsh stalks are washed with radiance now | E |
| How gleams the harsh turf where the crickets lie | F |
| Dew freshened in their burnished armour brave | D |
| Since earth could not endure nor heaven allow | E |
| Aught of unlovely in the morn's clear eye | F |
