Their Height In Heaven Comforts Not, Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG BHIH JKLK

Their height in heaven comforts notA
Their glory nought to meB
'T was best imperfect as it wasC
I 'm finite I can't seeB
-
The house of suppositionD
The glimmering frontierE
That skirts the acres of perhapsF
To me shows insecureG
-
The wealth I had contented meB
If 't was a meaner sizeH
Then I had counted it untilI
It pleased my narrow eyesH
-
Better than larger valuesJ
However true their showK
This timid life of evidenceL
Keeps pleading I don't knowK
