Past And Future. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACDACD

MY future will not copy fair my pastA
On any leaf but Heaven's Be fully doneB
Supernal Will I would not fain be oneB
Who satisfying thirst and breaking fastA
Upon the fulness of the heart at lastA
Saith no grace after meat My wine hath runB
Indeed out of my cup and there is noneB
To gather up the bread of my repastA
Scattered and trampled Yet I find some goodA
In earth's green herbs and streams that bubble upC
Clear from the darkling ground content untilD
I sit with angels before better foodA
Dear Christ when thy new vintage fills my cupC
This hand shall shake no more nor that wine spillD
