Among The Millet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIB

The dew is gleaming in the grassA
The morning hours are sevenB
And I am fain to watch you passA
Ye soft white clouds of heavenB
-
Ye stray and gather part and foldC
The wind alone can tame youD
I think of what in time of oldC
The poets loved to name youD
-
They called you sheep the sky your swardE
A field without a reaperF
They called the shining sun your lordE
The shepherd wind your keeperF
-
Your sweetest poets I will deemG
The men of old for mouldingH
In simple beauty such a dreamG
And I could lie beholdingH
-
Where daisies in the meadow tossI
The wind from morn till evenJ
Forever shepherd you acrossI
The shining field of heavenB
