Shipwrecked's Island Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHHIJKLMNOPQR S

An orphan of shipwreckA
I'm in a gardenless landB
without laboured soilC
one island that a volcano laid wasteD
in part and savage men have invadedE
keeping now the larger halfF
fruits and fish are their lootG
They put me on siege keep meH
far from banana and seaH
from this placeI
I have no more than defoliated rockJ
where it will growK
one day lichens full of leavesL
that all mornings can notM
witherN
No sailO
whitens black greenish seasP
In such a little islandQ
Could I survive the other islandersR
