Asleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE DGHG

As far from pity as complaintA
As cool to speech as stoneB
As numb to revelationC
As if my trade were boneB
-
As far from time as historyD
As near yourself to dayE
As children to the rainbow's scarfF
Or sunset's yellow playE
-
To eyelids in the sepulchreD
How still the dancer liesG
While color's revelations breakH
And blaze the butterfliesG
