The Dawn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABDAEFFEEF

And must I ever wake gray dawn to knowA
Thee standing sadly by me like a ghostB
I am perplexed with thee that thou shouldst costC
This earth another turning All aglowA
Thou shouldst have reached me with a purple showA
Along far mountain tops and I would postB
Over the breadth of seas though I were lostD
In the hot phantom chase for life if soA
Thou earnest ever with this numbing senseE
Of chilly distance and unlovely lightF
Waking this gnawing soul anew to fightF
With its perpetual load I drive thee henceE
I have another mountain range from whenceE
Bursteth a sun unutterably brightF
