Sonnet Xcii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Behold that Tree in Autumn's dim decay | A |
| Stript by the frequent chill and eddying Wind | B |
| Where yet some yellow lonely leaves we find | B |
| Lingering and trembling on the naked spray | A |
| Twenty perchance for millions whirl'd away | A |
| Emblem alas too just of Humankind | B |
| Vain MAN expects longevity design'd | B |
| For few indeed and their protracted day | A |
| What is it worth that Wisdom does not scorn | C |
| The blasts of Sickness Care and Grief appal | D |
| That laid the Friends in dust whose natal morn | C |
| Rose near their own and solemn is the call | D |
| Yet like those weak deserted leaves forlorn | C |
| Shivering they cling to life and fear to fall | D |
