Gold Leaves Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJI KBAB

Lo I am come to autumnA
When all the leaves are goldB
Grey hairs and golden leaves cry outC
The year and I are oldB
-
In youth I sought the prince of menD
Captain in cosmic warsE
Our Titan even the weeds would showF
Defiant to the starsG
-
But now a great thing in the streetH
Seems any human nodI
Where shift in strange democracyJ
The million masks of GodI
-
In youth I sought the golden flowerK
Hidden in wood or woldB
But I am come to autumnA
When all the leaves are goldB
