An Autumn Landscape Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBA DEFFED GHIIHG JKLLKJ MNOOOM OIPPIO| No wind there is that either pipes or moans | A |
| The fields are cold and still the sky | B |
| Is covered with a blue gray sheet | C |
| Of motionless cloud and at my feet | C |
| The river curling softly by | B |
| Whispers and dimples round its quiet gray stones | A |
| - | |
| Along the chill green slope that dips and heaves | D |
| The road runs rough and silent lined | E |
| With plum trees misty and blue gray | F |
| And poplars pallid as the day | F |
| In masses spectral undefined | E |
| Pale greenish stems half hid in dry gray leaves | D |
| - | |
| And on beside the river's sober edge | G |
| A long fresh field lies black Beyond | H |
| Low thickets gray and reddish stand | I |
| Stroked white with birch and near at hand | I |
| Over a little steel smooth pond | H |
| Hang multitudes of thin and withering sedge | G |
| - | |
| Across a waste and solitary rise | J |
| A ploughman urges his dull team | K |
| A stooped gray figure with prone brow | L |
| That plunges bending to the plough | L |
| With strong uneven steps The stream | K |
| Rings and re echoes with his furious cries | J |
| - | |
| Sometimes the lowing of a cow long drawn | M |
| Comes from far off and crows in strings | N |
| Pass on the upper silences | O |
| A flock of small gray goldfinches | O |
| Flown down with silvery twitterings | O |
| Rustle among the birch cones and are gone | M |
| - | |
| This day the season seems like one that heeds | O |
| With fixed ear and lifted hand | I |
| All moods that yet are known on earth | P |
| All motions that have faintest birth | P |
| If haply she may understand | I |
| The utmost inward sense of all her deeds | O |
