Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDE FFGDDG HHIJJE KKLMML NNLMMO

The Autumn's come againA
And the clouds descend in rainB
And the leaves are fast falling in the woodC
The Summer's voice is stillD
Save the clacking of the millD
And the lowly muttered thunder of the floodE
-
There's nothing in the meadF
But the river's muddy speedF
And the willow leaves all littered by its sideG
Sweet voices are all stillD
In the vale and on the hillD
And the Summer's blooms are withered in their prideG
-
Fled is the cuckoo's noteH
To countries far remoteH
And the nightingale is vanished from the woodsI
If you search the lordship roundJ
There is not a blossom foundJ
And where the hay cock scented is the floodE
-
My true love's fled awayK
Since we walked 'mid cocks of hayK
On the Sabbath in the Summer of the yearL
And she's nowhere to be seenM
On the meadow or the greenM
But she's coming when the happy Spring is nearL
-
When the birds begin to singN
And the flowers begin to springN
And the cowslips in the meadows reappearL
When the woodland oaks are seenM
In their monarchy of greenM
Then Mary and love's pleasures will be hereO
