Disillusionment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGHIJK

I used to dream long long agoA
That the clouds were marvelous white elephantsB
Journeying in droves to a far off sacred cityC
That always made the sunset with the reflection of its altar firesD
-
But now I am grown old and wiseE
And disillusionedF
And I know that the clouds are toy animals for childrenG
And are made of cotton battingH
Or at best are woven from a sort of mercerized woolI
And are always cut outJ
With patterns of tissue paperK
