The Last Betrayal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCDB EEFGGF

AND I shall lie alone at lastA
Clear of the stream that ran so fastA
And feel the flower roots in my hairB
And in my hands the roots of treesC
Myself wrapt in the ungrudging peaceD
That leaves no pain uncovered anywhereB
-
What this hope left this way not barredE
This last best treasure without guardE
This heaven free no prayers to payF
Fool are the Rulers of men asleepG
Thou knowest what tears They bade thee weepG
But when peace comes 'tis thou wilt sleep not TheyF
