Understanding Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AB C D EFG CHI

The years of my youth my sensual lifeA
how clearly I see their meaning nowB
-
What needless repentances how futileC
-
But I did not understand the meaning thenD
-
In the dissolute life of my youthE
the desires of my poetry were being formedF
the scope of my art was being plottedG
-
This is why my repentances were never stableC
And my resolutions to control myself to changeH
lasted for two weeks at the very mostI
