Rambles In Autumn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJCKLMNOPFQR STUVWXYZA2B2C2D2BE2But see the fading many colour'd woods | A |
Shade deepening over shade the country round | B |
Imbrown a crowded umbrage dusk and dun | C |
Of every hue from wan declining green | D |
To sooty dark These now the lonesome muse | E |
Low whispering lead into their leaf strewn walks | F |
And give the season in its latest view | G |
Meantime light shadowing all a sober calm | H |
Fleeces unbounded ether whose least wave | I |
Stands tremulous uncertain where to turn | J |
The dewy skirted clouds imbibe the sun | C |
And through their lucid veil his soften'd force | K |
Shed o'er the peaceful world Then is the time | L |
To steal themselves from the degenerate crowd | M |
And soar above this little scene of things | N |
To tread low thoughted vice beneath their feet | O |
To soothe the throbbing passions into peace | P |
And woo lone quiet in her silent walks | F |
The pale descending year yet pleasing still | Q |
A gentler mood inspires for now the leaf | R |
Incessant rustles from the mournful grove | S |
Oft startling such as studious walk below | T |
And slowly circles through the waving air | U |
But should a quicker breeze amid the boughs | V |
Sob o'er the sky the leafy deluge streams | W |
Till choked and matted with the dreary shower | X |
The forest walks at every rising gale | Y |
Roll wide the wither'd waste and whistle bleak | Z |
Fled is the blasted verdure of the fields | A2 |
And shrunk into their beds the flowery race | B2 |
Their sunny robes resign E'en what remain'd | C2 |
Of stronger fruits falls from the naked tree | D2 |
And woods fields gardens orchards all around | B |
The desolated prospect thrills the soul | E2 |
