Night (ii) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEDEFFDDDDG HHDIGIJHHJK K

I know a little Druid woodA
Where I would slumber if I couldA
And have the murmuring of the streamB
To mingle with a midnight dreamB
And have the holy hazel treesC
To play above me in the breezeC
And smell the thorny eglantineD
For there the white owls all night longE
In the scented gloom divineD
Hear the wild strange tuneless songE
Of faerie voices thin and highF
As the bat's unearthly cryF
And the measure of their shoonD
Dancing dancing under the moonD
Until amid the pale of dawnD
The wandering stars begin to swoonD
Ah leave the world and come awayG
-
The windy folk are in the gladeH
And men have seen their revels laidH
In secret on some flowery lawnD
Underneath the beechen coversI
Kings of old I've heard them sayG
Here have found them faerie loversI
That charmed them out of life and kissedJ
Their lips with cold lips unafraidH
And such a spell around them madeH
That they have passed beyond the mistJ
And found the Country under waveK
-
Kings of old whom none could saveK
