Autumn Song Of The Swallow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBAA DADAAA EFEFAA| The sky is dark and the air is full of snow | A |
| I go to a warmer clime afar and away | B |
| Though my heart is so tired I do not care for it now | C |
| But here in my empty nest I cannot stay | B |
| Thus cried the swallow | A |
| I go from the falling snow oh follow me oh follow | A |
| - | |
| One night my mate came home with a broken wing | D |
| So he died and my brood went long ago | A |
| And I am alone and I have no heart to sing | D |
| With no one to hear my song and I must go | A |
| Thus cried the swallow | A |
| Away from dust and decay oh follow me oh follow | A |
| - | |
| But I think I will never find so warm and safe a nest | E |
| As my home in the pleasant days gone by gone by | F |
| I think I shall never fold my wings in such happy rest | E |
| Never again oh never again till I die | F |
| Thus cried the swallow | A |
| But I go from the falling snow oh follow me oh follow | A |
