November Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE FFF AAA| How like a hooded friar bent and grey | A |
| Whose pensive lips speak only when they pray | A |
| Doth sad November pass upon his way | A |
| - | |
| Through forest aisles while the wind chanteth low | B |
| In God's cathedral where the great trees grow | B |
| Now all day long he paceth to and fro | B |
| - | |
| When shadows gather and the night mists rise | C |
| Up to the hills he lifts his sombre eyes | C |
| To where the last red rose of sunset lies | C |
| - | |
| A little smile he weareth wise and cold | D |
| The smile of one to whom all things are old | D |
| And life is weary as a tale twice told | D |
| - | |
| Come see he seems to say where joy has fled | E |
| The leaves that burned but yesterday so red | E |
| Have turned to ashes and the flowers are dead | E |
| - | |
| The summer's green and gold hath taken flight | F |
| October days have gone Now bleached and white | F |
| Winter doth come with many a lonely night | F |
| - | |
| And though the people will not heed or stay | A |
| But pass with careless laughter on their way | A |
| Even I with rain of tears will wait and pray | A |
