On The Sight Of Swans In Kensington Gardens Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAAABAABACCADD

Queen bird that sittest on thy shining nestA
And thy young cygnets without sorrow hatchestA
And thou thou other royal bird that watchestA
Lest the white mother wandering feet molestA
Shrined are your offspring in a crystal cradleB
Brighter than Helen's ere she yet had burstA
Her shelly prison They shall be born at firstA
Strong active graceful perfect swan like ableB
To tread the land or waters with securityA
Unlike poor human births conceived in sinC
In grief brought forth both outwardly and inC
Confessing weakness error and impurityA
Did heavenly creatures own succession's lineD
The births of heaven like to yours would shineD
