Loafing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCBDDDEFFFEGGGH IIIHJJJCAAAC

Under the shade of treesA
Flat on my back at easeA
Lulled by the hum of beesA
There's where I restB
Breathing the scented airC
Lazily loafing thereC
Never a thought of careC
Peace in my breastB
There where the waters runD
Laughing along in funD
I go when work is doneD
There's where I strayE
Couch of a downy greenF
Restful and sweet and cleanF
Set in a fairy sceneF
Wondrously gayE
Worn out with toil and strifeG
Sick of the din of lifeG
With pain and sorrow rifeG
There's where I goH
Soothing and sweet I findI
Comforts that ease the mindI
Leaving dull care behindI
Rest there I knowH
Flat on my back I lieJ
Watching the ships go byJ
Under the fleecy skyJ
Day dreaming thereC
From grief I find surceaseA
From worry gain releaseA
Resting in perfect peaceA
Free from all careC
