Friendship After Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE

After the fierce midsummer all ablazeA
Has burned itself to ashes and expiresB
In the intensity of its own firesB
There come the mellow mild St Martin daysA
Crowned with the calm of peace but sad with hazeA
So after Love has led us till he tiresB
Of his own throes and torments and desiresB
Comes large eyed Friendship with a restful gazeA
He beckons us to follow and acrossC
Cool verdant vales we wander free from careD
Is it a touch of frost lies in the airD
Why are we haunted with a sense of lossC
We do not wish the pain back or the heatE
And yet and yet these days are incompleteE
