Autumn-s Warnings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACADADAE FCFCFFFFF GBHFGIGJG KFKBKFKFKKSOFT voices of the woods that make | A |
The summer air a harmony | B |
Winged whispers through the leaves where wake | A |
Long wind wafts dying in a sigh | C |
Replies of birds from brake to brake | A |
Plash of the runnel on its stones | D |
Soft voices sweet for summer's sake | A |
There is a word in all your tones | D |
A word that not till now ye spake | A |
'Goodbye goodbye ' | E |
- | |
And yet see dearest overhead | F |
The branches bar a sultry sky | C |
No earliest fleck of tanned or red | F |
'Mid all the leafage far and nigh | C |
And with their serried curves outspread | F |
The fresh green fern fronds know no frost | F |
Nought gone but still some grace is dead | F |
Nought changed but still some hope is lost | F |
Listen and every voice has said | F |
'Goodbye goodbye ' | - |
- | |
We shall not see the summer wane | G |
But with a start of memory | B |
When the long chills have come again | H |
Awake and know that it did die | F |
So slowest loss is sudden pain | G |
We have not known till all is o'er | I |
'Tis summer till the autumn's rain | G |
Yet has there stolen long before | J |
That sadness through some sweetest strain | G |
'Goodbye goodbye ' | - |
- | |
Ah love hear all the thought that grew | K |
Mock it away I'll mock it I | F |
Summer and I sit here with you | K |
Your great eyes smiling tenderly | B |
Your silence wooing me to woo | K |
A meaning in your lightest word | F |
As though love made it something new | K |
And what if all the while I heard | F |
The autumn whisper sighing through | K |
'Goodbye goodbye' | K |
