Verses On An Autumnal Leaf. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI JKBK| Think not thou pride of Summer's softest strain | A |
| Sweet dress of Nature in her virgin bloom | B |
| That thou hast flutter'd to the breeze in vain | A |
| Or unlamented found thy native tomb | B |
| - | |
| The Muse who sought thee in the whisp'ring shade | C |
| When scarce one roving breeze was on the wing | D |
| With tones of genuine grief beholds thee fade | C |
| And asks thy quick return in earliest Spring | D |
| - | |
| I mark'd the victim of the wintry hour | E |
| I heard the winds breathe sad a fun'ral sigh | F |
| When the lone warbler from his fav'rite bow'r | G |
| Pour'd forth his pensive song to see thee die | F |
| - | |
| When in his little temple colder grown | H |
| He saw its sides of green to yellow grow | I |
| And mourn'd his little roof around him blown | H |
| Or toss'd in beauteous ruin on the snow | I |
| - | |
| And vow'd throughout the dreary day to come | J |
| More sad by far than summer's gloomiest night | K |
| That not one note should charm the leafless gloom | B |
| But silent Sorrow should attend thy flight | K |
