An Autumn Picture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| Now round red roofs stand russet stacks arow | A |
| Homeward from gleaning in the stubbly wheat | B |
| High overhead the harsh rook saileth slow | C |
| And cupless acorns crackle 'neath your feet | B |
| No breeze no breath veereth the oasthouse hoods | D |
| Whence the faint smoke floats fragrantly away | E |
| And in the distance the half hazy woods | D |
| Glow with the barren glory of decay | E |
| Vainly the bramble strives to drape the hedge | F |
| Whose leafless gaps show many an empty nest | G |
| The chill pool stagnates round the seeded sedge | F |
| And as the sunset saddens in the west | G |
| Funereal mist comes creeping down the dale | H |
| And widowed Autumn weeps behind her veil | H |
