In The Garden Viii: Later Autumn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECED| THIS is the year's despair some wind last night | A |
| Utter'd too soon the irrevocable word | B |
| And the leaves heard it and the low clouds heard | B |
| So a wan morning dawn'd of sterile light | A |
| Flowers droop'd or show'd a startled face and white | A |
| The cattle cower'd and one disconsolate bird | B |
| Chirp'd a weak note last came this mist and blurr'd | B |
| The hills and fed upon the fields like blight | A |
| Ah why so swift despair There yet will be | C |
| Warm noons the honey'd leavings of the year | D |
| Hours of rich musing ripest autumn's core | E |
| And late heap'd fruit and falling hedge berry | C |
| Blossoms in cottage crofts and yet once more | E |
| A song not less than June's fervent and clear | D |
