Happiness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEDEDE

THIS perfect love can find no words to sayA
What words are left still sacred for our useB
That have not suffered the sad world's abuseB
And figure forth a gladness dimmed and grayA
Let us be silent still since words conveyA
But shadowed images wherein we loseC
The fulness of love's light our lips refuseC
The fluent commonplace of yesterdayA
-
-
Then shall we hear beneath the brooding wingD
Of silence what abiding voices sleepE
The primal notes of nature that outringD
Man's little noises warble he or weepE
The song the morning stars together singD
The sound of deep that calleth unto deepE
