My Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH EIEI GJGJ KLML NGNG AEAE

My garden aboundeth in pleasant nooksA
And fragrance is over it allB
For sweet is the smell of my old old booksA
In their places against the wallB
-
Here is a folio that's grim with ageC
And yellow and green with mouldD
There's the breath of the sea on every pageC
And the hint of a stanch ship's holdD
-
And here is a treasure from France la belleE
Exhaleth a faint perfumeF
Of wedded lily and asphodelE
In a garden of song abloomF
-
And this wee little book of Puritan mienG
And rude conspicuous printH
Hath the Yankee flavor of wintergreenG
Or may be of peppermintH
-
In Walton the brooks a babbling tellE
Where the cheery daisy growsI
And where in meadow or woodland dwellE
The buttercup and the roseI
-
But best beloved of books I weenG
Are those which one perceivesJ
Are hallowed by ashes dropped betweenG
The yellow well thumbed leavesJ
-
For it's here a laugh and it's there a tearK
Till the treasured book is readL
And the ashes betwixt the pages hereM
Tell us of one long deadL
-
But the gracious presence reappearsN
As we read the book againG
And the fragrance of precious distant yearsN
Filleth the hearts of menG
-
Come pluck with me in my garden nooksA
The posies that bloom for allE
Oh sweet is the smell of my old old booksA
In their places against the wallE
