Lunar Mystery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABA CDC EFE GAH IBI JKJ LML

O'er gardens lulled with ghostly lightA
In music leaned the languorous moonB
The burden of the murmured nightA
-
Where amaranthine lilies woreC
In lofty pallor fully blownD
An ivory silence evermoreC
-
Bemused I saw the night's white songE
The flowers' moon measured lullabyF
Its visible pale rune prolongE
-
Then to my spelled reluctant earG
A whisper louder than the lightA
Pierced as from alien presence nearH
-
Till half I deemed to shortly seeI
A silver seraph of the moonB
Or star shape harping mysteryI
-
But wingless yet the midnight seemedJ
The garden footless to my gazeK
Save for a wind that briefly gleamedJ
-
Upon the pensive packed hoursL
And moonlight fluttering like a mothM
Amid the swayed enormous flowersL
