Autumn Crocuses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAB EEDFG GHA| The meadow is poisonous but pretty in the autumn | A |
| The cows that graze there are slowly poisoned | B |
| Meadow saffron the colour of lilac and of shadows | C |
| Under the eyes grows there your eyes are like those flowers | D |
| Mauve as their shadows and mauve as this autumn | A |
| And for your eyes' sake my life is slowly poisoned | B |
| - | |
| Children from school come with their commotion | E |
| Dressed in smocks and playing the mouth organ | E |
| Picking autumn crocuses which are like their mothers | D |
| Daughters of their daughters and the colour of your eyelids | F |
| Which flutter like flowers in the mad breeze blown | G |
| - | |
| The cowherd sings softly to himself all alone | G |
| While slow moving lowing the cows leave behind them | H |
| Forever this great meadow ill flowered by autumn | A |
