The Autumn Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDE FFGG HHII GGBB BBJJ KKAA AAAA GGBB| See the pale autumn dawn | A |
| Is faint upon the lawn | A |
| That lies in powdered white | B |
| Of hoar frost dight | B |
| - | |
| And now from tree to tree | C |
| The ghostly mist we see | C |
| Hung like a silver pall | D |
| To hallow all | E |
| - | |
| It wreathes the burdened air | F |
| So strangely everywhere | F |
| That I could almost fear | G |
| This silence drear | G |
| - | |
| Where no one song bird sings | H |
| And dream that wizard things | H |
| Mighty for hate or love | I |
| Were close above | I |
| - | |
| White as the fog and fair | G |
| Drifting through the middle air | G |
| In magic dances dread | B |
| Over my head | B |
| - | |
| Yet these should know me too | B |
| Lover and bondman true | B |
| One that has honoured well | J |
| The mystic spell | J |
| - | |
| Of earth s most solemn hours | K |
| Wherein the ancient powers | K |
| Of dryad elf or faun | A |
| Or leprechaun | A |
| - | |
| Oft have their faces shown | A |
| To me that walked alone | A |
| Seashore or haunted fen | A |
| Or mountain glen | A |
| - | |
| Wherefore I will not fear | G |
| To walk the woodlands sere | G |
| Into this autumn day | B |
| Far far away | B |
