November Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE DGGD HIIH JKKJ LMNL OJJP| Dry leaves upon the wall | A |
| Which flap like rustling wings and seek escape | B |
| A single frosted cluster on the grape | B |
| Still hangs and that is all | A |
| - | |
| It hangs forgotten quite | C |
| Forgotten in the purple vintage day | D |
| Left for the sharp and cruel frosts to slay | D |
| The daggers of the night | C |
| - | |
| It knew the thrill of spring | E |
| It had its blossom time its perfumed noons | F |
| Its pale green spheres were rounded to soft runes | F |
| Of summer's whispering | E |
| - | |
| Through balmy morns of May | D |
| Through fragrances of June and bright July | G |
| And August hot and still it hung on high | G |
| And purpled day by day | D |
| - | |
| Of fair and mantling shapes | H |
| No braver fairer cluster on the tree | I |
| And what then is this thing has come to thee | I |
| Among the other grapes | H |
| - | |
| Thou lonely tenant of the leafless vine | J |
| Granted the right to grow thy mates beside | K |
| To ripen thy sweet juices but denied | K |
| Thy place among the wine | J |
| - | |
| Ah we are dull and blind | L |
| The riddle is too hard for us to guess | M |
| The why of joy or of unhappiness | N |
| Chosen or left behind | L |
| - | |
| But everywhere a host | O |
| Of lonely lives shall read their type in thine | J |
| Grapes which may never swell the tale of wine | J |
| Left out to meet the frost | P |
