A Thrush Before Dawn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCA DEDEAA AFAFAA AGAGAA HCHCIJ

A voice peals in this end of nightA
A phrase of notes resembling starsB
Single and spiritual notes of lightA
What call they at my window barsB
The South the past the day to beC
An ancient infelicityA
-
Darkling deliberate what singsD
This wonderful one alone at peaceE
What wilder things than song what thingsD
Sweeter than youth clearer than GreeceE
Dearer than Italy untoldA
Delight and freshness centuries oldA
-
And first first loves a multitudeA
The exaltation of their painF
Ancestral childhood long renewedA
And midnights of invisible rainF
And gardens gardens night and dayA
Gardens and childhood all the wayA
-
What Middle Ages passionateA
O passionless voice What distant bellsG
Lodged in the hills what palace stateA
Illyrian For it speaks it tellsG
Without desire without dismayA
Some morrow and some yesterdayA
-
All natural things But more Whence cameH
This yet remoter mysteryC
How do these starry notes proclaimH
A graver still divinityC
This hope this sanctity of fearI
O innocent throat O human earJ
