Smith, Of The Third Oregon, Dies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDEAFFGGHAIHHJJI KLMMAMNNOPPAQA| Autumn in Oregon is wet as Spring | A |
| And green with little singings in the grass | B |
| And pheasants flying | A |
| Gold green and red | C |
| Great narrow lovely things | D |
| As if an orchid had snatched wings | D |
| There are strange birds like blots against a sky | E |
| Where a sun is dying | A |
| Beyond the river where the hills are blurred | F |
| A cloud like the one word | F |
| Of the too silent sky stirs and there stand | G |
| Black trees on either hand | G |
| Autumn in Oregon is wet and new | H |
| As Spring | A |
| And puts a fever like Spring's in the cheek | I |
| That once has touched her dew | H |
| And it puts longing too | H |
| In eyes that once have seen | J |
| Her season flouting green | J |
| And ears that listened to her strange birds speak | I |
| - | |
| Autumn in Oregon I'll never see | K |
| Those hills again a blur of blue and rain | L |
| Across the old Willamette I'll not stir | M |
| A pheasant as I walk and hear it whirr | M |
| Above my head an indolent trusting thing | A |
| When all this silly dream is finished here | M |
| The fellows will go home to where there fall | N |
| Rose petals over every street and all | N |
| The year is like a friendly festival | O |
| But I shall never watch those hedges drip | P |
| Color not see the tall spar of a ship | P |
| In our old harbor They say that I am dying | A |
| Perhaps that's why it all comes back again | Q |
| Autumn in Oregon and pheasants flying | A |
