Autumn Thoughts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB C C DEDF GBHB AIAI| Gone hath the Spring with all its flowers | A |
| And gone the Summer's pomp and show | B |
| And Autumn in his leafless bowers | A |
| Is waiting for the Winter's snow | B |
| - | |
| I said to Earth so cold and gray | C |
| 'An emblem of myself thou art ' | - |
| 'Not so ' the Earth did seem to say | C |
| 'For Spring shall warm my frozen heart ' | - |
| I soothe my wintry sleep with dreams | D |
| Of warmer sun and softer rain | E |
| And wait to hear the sound of streams | D |
| And songs of merry birds again | F |
| - | |
| But thou from whom the Spring hath gone | G |
| For whom the flowers no longer blow | B |
| Who standest blighted and forlorn | H |
| Like Autumn waiting for the snow | B |
| - | |
| No hope is thine of sunnier hours | A |
| Thy Winter shall no more depart | I |
| No Spring revive thy wasted flowers | A |
| Nor Summer warm thy frozen heart | I |
