October Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBA CDCDDC BEBFFB GHGHHG| The blood of wounded love is on your leaves October | A |
| And in your seaward wind the sigh of love foredone | B |
| Though I should fold them round me cerement like and sober | A |
| In all your mist and rain is no oblivion | B |
| Where memory clings the closer for the perished sun | B |
| The blood of wounded love is on your leaves October | A |

| By you I am betrayed to all my memories | C |
| Autumn whose cleaving colors are a fallen sword | D |
| Your distant vales are blue as Aidenn yet no ease | C |
| I find therein but pain against my coming stored | D |
| Autumn whose heart is one with all lost things adored | D |
| By you I am betrayed to all my memories | C |

| I would the mounded snow of mountains hyperborean | B |
| Were heaped upon your latest ember quenching it | E |
| In some tremendous world of ice or world marmorean | B |
| I would entomb for aye my fevers infinite | F |
| Yea well it were to lie in frozen sleep unlit | F |
| Beneath the mounded snow of mountains hyperborean | B |
| - | |
| Ah that my love and all your leaves on Lethe drifting | G |
| Were borne and cast upon the secret isles of sleep | H |
| Where love and slumber are the same and suns unlifting | G |
| And gods and men go down to quaff the dreamless deep | H |
| Autumn I would that thou and I were one in sleep | H |
| With this my love and all your leaves on Lethe drifting | G |
