A Bride Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEAFCF AEEAGHEIHGHI AJJAKKHLH LMLMNONAPPOPA

Through the vales to my loveA
To the happy small nest of homeB
Green from basement to roofC
Where the honey bees comeD
To the window sill flowersE
And dive from aboveA
Safe from the spider that weavesF
Her warp and her woofC
In some outermost leavesF
-
Through the vales to my loveA
In sweet April hoursE
All rainbows and showersE
While dove answers doveA
In beautiful MayG
When the orchards are tenderH
And frothing with flowersE
In opulent JuneI
When the wheat stands up slenderH
By sweet smelling hayG
And half the sun's splendourH
Descends to the moonI
-
Through the vales to my loveA
Where the turf is so soft to the feetJ
And the thyme makes it sweetJ
And the stately foxgloveA
Hangs silent its exquisite bellsK
And where water wellsK
The greenness grows greenerH
And bulrushes standL
Round a lily to screen herH
-
Nevertheless if this landL
Like a garden to smell and to sightM
Were turned to a desert of sandL
Stripped bare of delightM
All its best gone to worstN
For my feet no reposeO
No water to comfort my thirstN
And heaven like a furnace aboveA
The desert would beP
As gushing of waters to meP
The wilderness be as a roseO
If it led me to theeP
O my loveA
