An Autumn Treasure-trove Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDECC FGFGCC HIHICC| 'Tis the time of the year's sundown and flame | A |
| Hangs on the maple bough | B |
| And June is the faded flower of a name | A |
| The thin hedge hides not a singer now | B |
| Yet rich am I for my treasures be | C |
| The gold afloat in my willow tree | C |
| - | |
| Sweet morn on the hillside dripping with dew | D |
| Girded with blue and pearl | E |
| Counts the leaves afloat in the streamlet too | D |
| As the love lorn heart of a wistful girl | E |
| She sings while her soul brooding tearfully | C |
| Sees a dream of gold in the willow tree | C |
| - | |
| All day pure white and saffron at eve | F |
| Clouds awaiting the sun | G |
| Turn them at length to ghosts that leave | F |
| When the moon's white path is slowly run | G |
| Till the morning comes and with joy for me | C |
| O'er my gold agleam in the willow tree | C |
| - | |
| The lilacs that blew on the breast of May | H |
| Are an old and lost delight | I |
| And the rose lies ruined in his careless way | H |
| As the wind turns the poplars underwhite | I |
| Yet richer am I for the autumn see | C |
| All my misty gold in the willow tree | C |
