An Autumn Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DEDEDE FDFGD| Leaden skies and a lonesome shadow | A |
| Where summer has passed with her gorgeous train | B |
| Snow on the mountain and frost on the meadow | A |
| A white face pressed to the window pane | B |
| A cold mist falling a bleak wind calling | C |
| And oh but life seems vain | B |
| - | |
| Rain is better than golden weather | D |
| When the heart is dulled with a dumb despair | E |
| Dead leaves lie where they walked together | D |
| The hammock is gone and the rustic chair | E |
| Let bleak snows cover the whole world over | D |
| It will never again seem fair | E |
| - | |
| Time laughs lightly at youth's sad 'Never ' | - |
| Summer shall come again smiling once more | F |
| High o'er the cold world the sun shines for ever | D |
| Hearts that seemed dead are alive at the core | F |
| Oh but the pain of it oh but the gain of it | G |
| After the shadows pass o'er | D |
