Avenue In Savernake Forest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDHAIJKGLFMGNO PGQGRSTUVDWGXG| How soothing sound the gentle airs that move | A |
| The innumerable leaves high overhead | B |
| When autumn first from the long avenue | C |
| That lifts its arching height of ancient shade | D |
| Steals here and there a leaf | E |
| Within the gloom | F |
| In partial sunshine white some trunks appear | G |
| Studding the glens of fern in solemn shade | D |
| Some mingle their dark branches but yet all | H |
| All make a sad sweet music as they move | A |
| Not undelightful to a stranger's heart | I |
| They seem to say in accents audible | J |
| Farewell to summer and farewell the strains | K |
| Of many a lithe and feathered chorister | G |
| That through the depth of these incumbent woods | L |
| Made the long summer gladsome | F |
| I have heard | M |
| To the deep mingling sounds of organs clear | G |
| When slow the choral anthem rose beneath | N |
| The glimmering minster through its pillared aisles | O |
| Echo but not more sweet the vaulted roof | P |
| Rang to those linked harmonies than here | G |
| The high wood answers to the lightest breath | Q |
| Of nature | G |
| Oh may such sweet music steal | R |
| Soothing the cares of venerable age | S |
| From public toil retired may it awake | T |
| As still and slow the sun of life declines | U |
| Remembrances not mournful but most sweet | V |
| May it as oft beneath the sylvan shade | D |
| Their honoured owner strays come like the sound | W |
| Of distant seraph harps yet speaking clear | G |
| How poor is every sound of earthly things | X |
| When heaven's own music waits the just and pure | G |
