Autumn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHHG FIJI| Soon we will plunge ourselves into cold shadows | A |
| And all of summer's stunning afternoons will be gone | B |
| I already hear the dead thuds of logs below | C |
| Falling on the cobblestones and the lawn | B |
| - | |
| All of winter will return to me | D |
| derision Hate shuddering horror drudgery and vice | E |
| And exiled like the sun to a polar prison | F |
| My soul will harden into a block of red ice | E |
| - | |
| I shiver as I listen to each log crash and slam | G |
| The echoes are as dull as executioners' drums | H |
| My mind is like a tower that slowly succumbs | H |
| To the blows of a relentless battering ram | G |
| - | |
| It seems to me swaying to these shocks that someone | F |
| Is nailing down a coffin in a hurry somewhere | I |
| For whom It was summer yesterday now it's autumn | J |
| Echoes of departure keep resounding in the air | I |
