Autumn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DCEF GHIJ KLKM JNCN AOHO PQDQ NRJR| I have allowed my family to scatter | A |
| All those who were my dearest to depart | B |
| And once again an age long loneliness | C |
| Comes in to fill all nature and my heart | B |
| - | |
| Alone this cottage shelters me and you | D |
| The wood is an unpeopled wilderness | C |
| And ways and footpaths wear as in the song | E |
| Weeds almost overgrowing each recess | F |
| - | |
| And where we sit together by ourselves | G |
| The log walls gaze upon us mournfully | H |
| We gave no promise to leap obstacles | I |
| We shall yet face our end with honesty | J |
| - | |
| At one we'll sit at three again we'll rise | K |
| My book with me your sewing in your hand | L |
| Nor with the dawning shall we realize | K |
| When all our kissing shall have had an end | M |
| - | |
| You leaves more richly and more recklessly | J |
| Rustle your dresses spill yourselves away | N |
| And fill a past day's cup of bitterness | C |
| Still higher with the anguish of today | N |
| - | |
| All this delight devotion and desire | A |
| We'll fling ourselves into September's riot | O |
| Immure yourself within the autumn's rustle | H |
| Entirely go crazy or be quiet | O |
| - | |
| How when you fall into my gentle arms | P |
| Enrobed in that silk tasselled dressing gown | Q |
| You shake the dress you wear away from you | D |
| As only coppices shake their leaves down | Q |
| - | |
| You are the blessing on my baneful way | N |
| When life has depths worse than disease can reach | R |
| And courage is the only root of beauty | J |
| And it is this that draws us each to each | R |
