Grey Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDCD EFEF GHGH IJJI

When you went how was it you carried with youA
My missal book of fine flamboyant hoursB
My book of turrets and of red thorn bowersB
And skies of gold and ladies in bright tissueA
-
Now underneath a blue grey twilight heapedC
Beyond the withering snow of the shorn fieldsD
Stands rubble of stunted houses all is reapedC
And garnered that the golden daylight yieldsD
-
Dim lamps like yellow poppies glimmer amongE
The shadowy stubble of the under duskF
As farther off the scythe of night is swungE
And little stars come rolling from their huskF
-
And all the earth is gone into a dustG
Of greyness mingled with a fume of goldH
Covered with aged lichens past with mustG
And all the sky has withered and gone coldH
-
And so I sit and scan the book of greyI
Feeling the shadows like a blind man readingJ
All fearful lest I find the last words bleedingJ
With wounds of sunset and the dying dayI
