Going Down Hill On A Bicycle: A Boy's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEF GGHH IIJJ AAFF

With lifted feet hands stillA
I am poised and down the hillA
Dart with heedful mindB
The air goes by in a windB
-
Swifter and yet more swiftC
Till the heart with a mighty liftC
Makes the lungs laugh the throat cryD
'O bird see see bird I flyD
-
'Is this is this your joyE
O bird then I though a boyE
For a golden moment shareF
Your feathery life in air '-
-
Say heart is there aught like thisG
In a world that is full of blissG
'Tis more than skating boundH
Steel shod to the level groundH
-
Speed slackens now I floatI
Awhile in my airy boatI
Till when the wheels scarce crawlJ
My feet to the treadles fallJ
-
Alas that the longest hillA
Must end in a vale but stillA
Who climbs with toil wheresoe'erF
Shall find wings waiting thereF
