Read "Chant of Autumn" at The Eldritch Dark:

This poem from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) uses an interesting AABCDDBC rhyme scheme. I like the impact that unusual rhyme pattern has on the word flow, since the delayed conclusions to the B and C rhymes in each stanza create a momentum in recitation which also avoids the "sing-songy" character that can infect poems with strict repeating patterns of rhymed couplets.
