Orchard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFFIF HJKG LMHBNF FFBFOPFQH

I saw the first pearA
As it fellB
The honey seeking golden bandedC
The yellow swarmD
Was not more fleet than IE
Spare us from lovelinessF
And I fell prostrateG
CryingH
You have flayed usF
With your blossomsF
Spare us the beautyI
Of fruit treesF
-
The honey seekingH
Paused notJ
The air thundered their songK
And I alone was prostrateG
-
O rough hewnL
God of the orchardM
I bring you an offeringH
Do you alone unbeautifulB
Son of the godN
Spare us from lovelinessF
-
These fallen hazel nutsF
Stripped late of their green sheathsF
Grapes red purpleB
Their berriesF
Dripping with wineO
Pomegranates already brokenP
And shrunken figsF
And quinces untouchedQ
I bring you as offeringH
