An Autumn Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII| Dark hills against a hollow crocus sky | A |
| Scarfed with its crimson pennons and below | B |
| The dome of sunset long hushed valleys lie | A |
| Cradling the twilight where the lone winds blow | B |
| And wake among the harps of leafless trees | C |
| Fantastic runes and mournful melodies | C |
| - | |
| The chilly purple air is threaded through | D |
| With silver from the rising moon afar | E |
| And from a gulf of clear unfathomed blue | D |
| In the southwest glimmers a great gold star | E |
| Above the darkening druid glens of fir | F |
| Where beckoning boughs and elfin voices stir | F |
| - | |
| And so I wander through the shadows still | G |
| And look and listen with a rapt delight | H |
| Pausing again and yet again at will | G |
| To drink the elusive beauty of the night | H |
| Until my soul is filled as some deep cup | I |
| That with divine enchantment is brimmed up | I |
