A Better Thing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD

I took it for a bird of prey that soaredA
High over ocean battled mount and plainB
'Twas but a bird moth which with limp horns goredA
The invisibly obstructing window paneB
-
Better than eagle with far towering nerveC
But downward bent greedy marauding eyeD
Guest of the flowers thou art unhurt they serveC
Thee little angel of a lower skyD

George Macdonald
