Leaves Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADDEEFFGGHH| One by one like leaves from a tree | A |
| All my faiths have forsaken me | A |
| But the stars above my head | B |
| Burn in white and delicate red | B |
| And beneath my feet the earth | C |
| Brings the sturdy grass to birth | C |
| I who was content to be | A |
| But a silken singing tree | A |
| But a rustle of delight | D |
| In the wistful heart of night | D |
| I have lost the leaves that knew | E |
| Touch of rain and weight of dew | E |
| Blinded by a leafy crown | F |
| I looked neither up nor down | F |
| But the little leaves that die | G |
| Have left me room to see the sky | G |
| Now for the first time I know | H |
| Stars above and earth below | H |
