"there's A Certain Slant Of Light," Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKFK

There's a certain slant of lightA
On winter afternoonsB
That oppresses like the weightC
Of cathedral tunesB
-
Heavenly hurt it gives usD
We can find no scarE
But internal differenceF
Where the meanings areE
-
None may teach it anythingG
' T is the seal despairH
An imperial afflictionI
Sent us of the airH
-
When it comes the landscape listensJ
Shadows hold their breathK
When it goes 't is like the distanceF
On the look of deathK
