An Autumn Homily Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| Here let us sit beneath this oak and hear | A |
| The acorns fitfully fall one by one | B |
| The final harvest of the fading year | C |
| Now Summer eves and Autumn days are done | B |
| The orchard rows stand desolate and bare | D |
| Even the mellow quince is gathered now | E |
| The furrow yields the sickle to the share | D |
| And lonely trunks stretch out the leafless bough | E |
| Thus wanes the body ere the mind decays | F |
| And through the heart the vernal sap still flows | G |
| While warm within on short lived winter days | F |
| The soul's clear lamp unflickeringly glows | G |
| So are we one with Nature in the round | H |
| Of seasonable change knit by some tie profound | H |
