Autumnal Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCABABDAADAD| Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods | A |
| And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt | B |
| And night by night the monitory blast | C |
| Wails in the key hold telling how it pass'd | C |
| O'er empty fields or upland solitudes | A |
| Or grim wide wave and now the power is felt | B |
| Of melancholy tenderer in its moods | A |
| Than any joy indulgent summer dealt | B |
| Dear friends together in the glimmering eve | D |
| Pensive and glad with tones that recognise | A |
| The soft invisible dew in each one's eyes | A |
| It may be somewhat thus we shall have leave | D |
| To walk with memory when distant lies | A |
| Poor Earth where we were wont to live and grieve | D |
