Restlessness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEAGGH I

Would I had waked this morn where Florence smilesA
A bloom with beauty a white rose full blownB
Yet rich in sacred dust in storied stoneB
Precious past all the wealth of Indian islesA
From olive hoary Fiesole to feedC
On Brunelleschi's dome my hungry eyeD
And see against the lotus colored skyD
Spring the slim belfry graceful as a reedC
To kneel upon the ground where Dante trodE
To breathe the air of immortalityF
From Angelo and Raphael TO BEF
Each sense new quickened by a demi godE
To hear the liquid Tuscan speech at whilesA
From citizen and peasant to beholdG
The heaven of Leonardo washed with goldG
Would I had waked this morn where Florence smileH
