Autumn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDAEDE FGHGIJIKLIK MNMNOPQPOR| The year grows still again the surging wake | A |
| Of full sailed summer folds its furrows up | B |
| As after passing of an argosy | C |
| Old Silence settles back upon the sea | C |
| And ocean grows as placid as a cup | B |
| Spring the young morn and Summer the strong noon | D |
| Have dreamed and done and died for Autumn's sake | A |
| Autumn that finds not for a loss so dear | E |
| Solace in stack and garner hers too soon | D |
| Autumn the faithful widow of the year | E |
| - | |
| Autumn a poet once so full of song | F |
| Wise in all rhymes of blossom and of bud | G |
| Hath lost the early magic of his tongue | H |
| And hath no passion in his failing blood | G |
| Hear ye no sound of sobbing in the air | I |
| 'Tis his Low bending in a secret lane | J |
| Late blooms of second childhood in his hair | I |
| He tries old magic like a dotard mage | K |
| Tries spell and spell to weep and try again | L |
| Yet not a daisy hears and everywhere | I |
| The hedgerow rattles like an empty cage | K |
| - | |
| He hath no pleasure in his silken skies | M |
| Nor delicate ardours of the yellow land | N |
| Yea dead for all its gold the woodland lies | M |
| And all the throats of music filled with sand | N |
| Neither to him across the stubble field | O |
| May stack nor garner any comfort bring | P |
| Who loveth more this jasmine he hath made | Q |
| The little tender rhyme he yet can sing | P |
| Than yesterday with all its pompous yield | O |
| Or all its shaken laurels on his head | R |
