Permanence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH

I am leaving earth with little knowledge of itA
without having visited its great cities and landsB
I was here for a moment it seems to praiseC
and now that I am leaving I am astoundedD
-
So what does cruelty mean in these circumstanceE
and what does triumph empire and dominationF
but waves upon the still sea beneathG
And what does failure mean but to sink belowH
