The Autumn Waste Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACDCECEFF| There is no break in all the wide grey sky | A |
| Nor light on any field and the wind grieves | B |
| And talks of death Where cold grey waters lie | A |
| Round greyer stones and the new fallen leaves | B |
| Heap the chill hollows of the naked woods | C |
| A lisping moan an inarticulate cry | A |
| Creeps far among the charnel solitudes | C |
| Numbing the waste with mindless misery | D |
| In these bare paths these melancholy lands | C |
| What dream or flesh could ever have been young | E |
| What lovers have gone forth with linked hands | C |
| What flowers could ever have bloomed what birds have sung | E |
| Life hopes and human things seem wrapped away | F |
| With shrouds and spectres in one long decay | F |
