A Fear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGH IJIJ KLKL JMJN

O Mother Earth I have a fearA
Which I would tell to theeB
Softly and gently in thine earC
When the moon and we are threeB
-
Thy grass and flowers are beautifulD
Among thy trees I hideE
And underneath the moonlight coolF
Thy sea looks broad and wideE
-
But this I fear lest thou shouldst growG
To me so small and strangeH
So distant I should never knowG
On thee a shade of changeH
-
Although great earthquakes should upliftI
Deep mountains from their baseJ
And thy continual motion shiftI
The lands upon thy faceJ
-
The grass the flowers the dews that lieK
Upon them as beforeL
Driven upwards evermore lest IK
Should love these things no moreL
-
Even now thou dimly hast a placeJ
In deep star galaxiesM
And I driven ever on through spaceJ
Have lost thee in the skiesN
