Melodian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBA DEEFFD G

I have been at this shooting gallery too longA
It is monotonous how the little coloured ballsB
Make up and down on their silvery water threadC
It would be pleasant to have money and go insteadC
To watch your greasy audience in the threepenny stallsB
Of the World famous Caravan of Dance and SongA
-
And I want to go out beyond the turf fires thereD
After I've looked at your just smiling faceE
To that untented silent dark blue nighted placeE
And wait such time as you will wish the noise all dumbF
And drop your fairings and leave the funny man and comeF
You have the most understanding face in all the fairD
-
From the Arabic of John DuncanG
