Reward Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBDB EFEFGHIH JKJKLBKB

Don't want medals on my breastA
Don't want all the gloryB
I'm not worrying greatly lestA
The world won't hear my storyB
A chance to dream beside a streamC
Where fish are biting freeB
A day or two 'neath skies of blueD
Is joy enough for meB
-
I do not ask a hoard of goldE
Nor treasures rich and rareF
I don't want all the joys to holdE
I only want a shareF
Just now and then away from menG
And all their haunts of prideH
If I can steal with rod and reelI
I will be satisfiedH
-
I'll gladly work my way through lifeJ
I would not always playK
I only ask to quit the strifeJ
For an occasional dayK
If I can sneak from toil a weekL
To chum with stream and treeB
I'll fish away and smiling sayK
That life's been good to meB
