Late Autumn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABABA CCDDCD| October and the skies are cool and gray | A |
| O'er stubbles emptied of their latest sheaf | B |
| Bare meadow and the slowly falling leaf | B |
| The dignity of woods in rich decay | A |
| Accords full well with this majestic grief | B |
| That clothes our solemn purple hills to day | A |
| Whose afternoon is hush'd and wintry brief | B |
| Only a robin sings from any spray | A |
| - | |
| And night sends up her pale cold moon and spills | C |
| White mist around the hollows of the hills | C |
| Phantoms of firth or lake the peasant sees | D |
| His cot and stockyard with the homestead trees | D |
| Islanded but no foolish terror thrills | C |
| His perfect harvesting he sleeps at ease | D |
