The Unknown Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHCIGJKLMN

Ye aspiring ones listen to the story of the unknownA
Who lies here with no stone to mark the placeB
As a boy reckless and wantonC
Wandering with gun in hand through the forestD
Near the mansion of Aaron HatfieldE
I shot a hawk perched on the topF
Of a dead treeG
He fell with guttural cryH
At my feet his wing brokenC
Then I put him in a cageI
Where he lived many days cawing angrily at meG
When I offered him foodJ
Daily I search the realms of HadesK
For the soul of the hawkL
That I may offer him the friendshipM
Of one whom life wounded and cagedN
