Autumn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCCEFDFGHFH| Autumn the year breathes dully towards its death | A |
| beside its dying sacrificial fire | B |
| the dim world's middle age of vain desire | B |
| is strangely troubled waiting for the breath | A |
| that speaks the winter's welcome malison | C |
| to fix it in the unremembering sleep | D |
| the silent woods brood o'er an anxious deep | D |
| and in the faded sorrow of the sun | C |
| I see my dreams' dead colours one by one | C |
| forth conjur'd from their smouldering palaces | E |
| fade slowly with the sigh of the passing year | F |
| They wander not nor wring their hands nor weep | D |
| discrown'd belated dreams but in the drear | F |
| and lingering world we sit among the trees | G |
| and bow our heads as they with frozen mouth | H |
| looking in ashen reverie towards the clear | F |
| sad splendour of the winter of the far south | H |
