Two Schools Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED AFGFGAH IJIJ

I put my heart to schoolA
In the world where men grow wiseB
Go out I said and learn the ruleA
Come back when you win a prizeB
-
My heart came back againC
Now where is the prize I criedD
The rule was false and the prize was painE
And the teacher's name was PrideD
-
I put my heart to schoolA
In the woods where veeries singF
And brooks run cool and clearG
In the fields where wild flowers springF
And the blue of heaven bends nearG
Go out I said you are half a foolA
But perhaps they can teach you hereH
-
And why do you stay so longI
My heart and where do you roamJ
The answer came with a laugh and a songI
I find this school is homeJ
