Archibald's Example Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJI KLML NAOA

Old Archibald in his eternal chairA
Where trespassers whatever their degreeB
Were soon frowned out again was looking offC
Across the clover when he said to meB
-
My green hill yonder where the sun goes downD
Without a scratch was once inhabitedE
By trees that injured him an evil trashF
That made a cage and held him while he bledG
-
Gone fifty years I see them as they wereH
Before they fell They were a crooked lotI
To spoil my sunset and I saw no timeJ
In fifty years for crooked things to rotI
-
Trees yes but not a service or a joyK
To God or man for they were thieves of lightL
So down they came Nature and I looked onM
And we were glad when they were out of sightL
-
Trees are like men sometimes and that being soN
So much for that He twinkled in his chairA
And looked across the clover to the placeO
That he remembered when the trees were thereA
