Sunset In Autumn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBBB CCCC DDDD EEEF| Blood Coloured oaks that stand against a sky of gold and brass | A |
| Gaunt slopes on which the bleak leaves glow of brier and sassafras | A |
| And broom sedge strips of smoky pink and pearl gray clumps of grass | A |
| In which beneath the ragged sky the rain pools gleam like glass | A |
| - | |
| From West to East from wood to wood along the forest side | B |
| The winds the sowers of the Lord with thunderous footsteps stride | B |
| Their stormy hands rain acorns down and mad leaves wildly dyed | B |
| Like tatters of their rushing cloaks stream round them far and wide | B |
| - | |
| The frail leaf cricket in the weeds rings a faint fairy bell | C |
| And like a torch of phantom ray the milkweed's windy shell | C |
| Glimmers while wrapped in withered dreams the wet autumnal smell | C |
| Of loam and leaf like some sad ghost steals over field and dell | C |
| - | |
| The oaks against a copper sky o'er which like some black lake | D |
| Of Dis bronze clouds like surges fringed with sullen fire break | D |
| Loom sombre as Doom's citadel above the vales that make | D |
| A pathway to a land of mist the moon's pale feet shall take | D |
| - | |
| Now dyed with burning carbuncle a limbo litten pane | E |
| Within its walls of storm the West opens to hill and plain | E |
| On which the wild geese ink themselves a far triangled train | E |
| And then the shuttering clouds close down and night is here again | F |
