Written In Autumn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCCDEFGFG| Checq'd Autumn doubly sweet is thy declining | A |
| To meditate within this 'wilder'd shade | B |
| To view the wood in its pied lustre shining | A |
| And catch thy varied beauties as they fade | B |
| Where o'er broad hazel leaves thy pencil mellows | C |
| Red as the glow that morning's opening warms | C |
| And ash or maple 'neath thy colour yellows | C |
| Robbing some sunbeam of its setting charms | C |
| I would say much of what now meets my eye | D |
| But beauties lose me in variety | E |
| O for the warmth of soul and 'witching measure | F |
| Expressing semblance Poesy which is thine | G |
| And Genius' eye to view this transient treasure | F |
| That Autumn here might lastingly decline | G |
