Mystery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDE FGGH IJJI KLLK MNNM

To me who have but knownA
The senses' doubtful loreB
Thy soul is evermoreB
Mysterious as mine ownA
-
With ears I strive to hearC
A song that is not soundD
With eyes to pierce the boundD
Of things unseen and dearE
-
But in delectableF
Dark ways and wordless speechG
Our hearts throb each to eachG
The tale we cannot tellH
-
The flesh unto the fleshI
Utters deliciouslyJ
Desire and ecstasyJ
Through all its subtle meshI
-
In a swift glance or inK
The close and eyeless nightL
As light that meets with lightL
My soul has seemed to winK
-
Communion clear with thineM
Has found the oblivion deepN
Which is not death nor sleepN
But ampler life divineM
