Lake Como In Autumn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHEE IJIJKL| From Como's curving base of blue | A |
| To where the snow lies cold and clear | B |
| Ascends in steps of varied hue | A |
| The pageant of the passing year | B |
| As scores of mountain sides unfold | C |
| Their gorgeous robes of red and gold | C |
| - | |
| Meanwhile where shore and lake unite | D |
| I see projected far below | E |
| A counterpart in colors bright | D |
| Of snows that gleam and woods that glow | E |
| Two pictures of an ideal land | F |
| Divided by a single strand | F |
| - | |
| O matchless view thus doubly fair | G |
| Impress thy beauty on my heart | H |
| That when no longer really there | G |
| I still may see thee as thou art | H |
| Alas that they should ever go | E |
| Those steps of light those thrones of snow | E |
| - | |
| The day declines the colors pale | I |
| The peaks will soon be ashen gray | J |
| Yet though the shades of night prevail | I |
| The darkness hath not come to stay | J |
| And if no leaves of gold remain | K |
| The sun will bring the Spring again | L |
