I Felt A Funeral, In My Brain (280) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIJI KLML NOPJ

I felt a Funeral in my BrainA
And Mourners to and froB
Kept treading treading till it seemedC
That Sense was breaking throughD
-
And when they all were seatedE
A Service like a DrumF
Kept beating beating till I thoughtG
My Mind was going numbF
-
And then I heard them lift a BoxH
And creak across my SoulI
With those same Boots of Lead againJ
Then Space began to tollI
-
As all the Heavens were a BellK
And Being but an EarL
And I and Silence some strange RaceM
Wrecked solitary hereL
-
And then a Plank in Reason brokeN
And I dropped down and downO
And hit a World at every plungeP
And Finished knowing thenJ
