Autumn Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GDGD HBHB| I have been through the woods to day | A |
| And the leaves were falling | B |
| Summer had crept away | A |
| And the birds were not calling | B |
| - | |
| And the bracken was like yellow gold | C |
| That comes too late | D |
| When the heart is sad and old | C |
| And death at the gate | D |
| - | |
| Ah mournful Autumn Sad | E |
| Slow death that comes at last | F |
| I am mad for a yesterday mad | E |
| I am sick for a year that is past | F |
| - | |
| Though the sun be like blood in the sky | G |
| He is cold as the lips of hate | D |
| And he fires the sere leaves as they lie | G |
| On their bed of earth too late | D |
| - | |
| They are dead and the bare trees weep | H |
| Not loud as a mortal weeping | B |
| But as sorrow that sighs in sleep | H |
| And as grief that is still in sleeping | B |
