Going Back Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DEFG HEIJ KLMK FNON PKQK

The night turns slowly roundA
Swift trains go by in a rush of lightB
Slow trains steal pastC
This train beats anxiously outward boundA
-
But I am not hereD
I am away beyond the scope of this turningE
There where the pivot is the axisF
Of all this gearG
-
I who sit in tearsH
I whose heart is torn with partingE
Who cannot bear to think back to the departure platformI
My spirit hearsJ
-
Voices of menK
Sound of artillery aeroplanes presencesL
And more than all the dead sure silenceM
The pivot againK
-
There at the axisF
Pain or love or griefN
Sleep on speed in dead certaintyO
Pure reliefN
-
There at the pivotP
Time sleeps againK
No has been no here after only the perfectedQ
Silence of menK
