I Read My Sentence Steadily, Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IAAA JKLK

I read my sentence steadilyA
Reviewed it with my eyesB
To see that I made no mistakeC
In its extremest clauseD
-
The date and manner of the shameE
And then the pious formF
That God have mercy on the soulG
The jury voted himH
-
I made my soul familiarI
With her extremityA
That at the last it should not beA
A novel agonyA
-
But she and Death acquaintedJ
Meet tranquilly as friendsK
Salute and pass without a hintL
And there the matter endsK
