Awake! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABAAB CCDEFD AAGAAH IIJKLJ CCMNNM

The stars are all watchingA
God's angel is catchingA
At thy skirts in the darkness deepB
Gold hinges gratingA
The mighty dead waitingA
Why dost thou sleepB
-
Years without numberC
Ages of slumberC
Stiff in the track of the infinite OneD
Dead can I think itE
Dropt like a trinketF
A thing whose uses are doneD
-
White wings are crossingA
Glad waves are tossingA
The earth flames out in crimson and greenG
Spring is appearingA
Summer is nearingA
Where hast thou beenH
-
Down in some cavernI
Death's sleepy tavernI
Housing carousing with spectres of nightJ
There is my right handK
Grasp it full tight andL
Spring to the lightJ
-
Wonder oh wonderC
How the life thunderC
Bursts on his ear in horror and dreadM
Happy shapes meet himN
Heaven and earth greet himN
Life from the deadM
