I Know, You Walk-- Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCBEFGFEH E I

I walk so often late along the streetsA
Lower my gaze and hurry full of dreadB
Suddenly silently you still might riseC
And I would have to gaze on all your griefD
With my own eyesC
While you demand your happiness that's deadB
I know you walk beyond me every nightE
With a coy footfall in a wretched dressF
And walk for money looking miserableG
Your shoes gather God knows what ugly messF
The wind plays in your hair with lewd delightE
You walk and walk and find no home at allH
