Burning Leaves, November Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE AFDF

THESE are the folios of AprilA
All the library of springB
Missals gilt and rubricatedC
With the frost's illuminingB
-
Ruthless we destroy these treasuresD
Set the torch with hand profaneE
Gone like Alexandrian vellumsD
Like the books of burnt LouvainE
-
Yet these classics are immortalA
O collectors have no fearF
For the publisher will issueD
New editions every yearF
