Estrangement Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDE FGGF HIIH| I have forgot who once had part | A |
| In autumn and in autumn's grief | B |
| Still the red year illumes the leaf | B |
| But not the silence of my heart | A |
| - | |
| When poplars take the passing fire | C |
| And fling it on the windy skies | D |
| I listen hushed with lone surmise | D |
| In hope to hear a vanished lyre | E |
| - | |
| Bravely on some autumnal morrow | F |
| The topmost leaf shall flame and die | G |
| But in my heart an alien sigh | G |
| Wakes only with an alien sorrow | F |
| - | |
| In vain the falling leaves caress | H |
| A lute among the roses lost | I |
| And the frail touch of petals tossed | I |
| Will leave it mute and tremorless | H |
