The Autumn Crocus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCA DEFEGHIHJJFJGKLMNNK| In the high woods that crest our hills | A |
| Upon a steep rough slope of forest ground | B |
| Where few flowers grow sweet blooms to day I found | B |
| Of the Autumn Crocus blowing pale and fair | C |
| Dim falls the sunlight there | C |
| And a mild fragrance the lone thicket fills | A |
| - | |
| Languidly curved the long white stems | D |
| Their purple flowers' gold treasure scarce display | E |
| Lost were their leaves since in the distant spring | F |
| Their February sisters showed so gay | E |
| Roses of June ye too have followed fleet | G |
| Forsaken now and shaded as by thought | H |
| As by the human shade of thought and dreams | I |
| They bloom 'mid the dark wood whose air has wrought | H |
| With what soft nights and mornings of still dew | J |
| Into their slender petals that clear hue | J |
| Like paleness in fresh cheeks a thing | F |
| On earth I vowed ne'er grew | J |
| More delicately pure more shyly sweet | G |
| Child of the pensive autumn woods | K |
| So lovely though thou dwell obscure and lone | L |
| And though thy flush and gaiety be gone | M |
| Say among flowers of the sad human mind | N |
| Where shall I ever find | N |
| So rare a grace in what shy solitudes | K |
