Apple-blossoms. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGF HIJKLFGF AMNMOFGF

I sit in the shadow of apple boughsA
In the fragrant orchard closeB
And around me floats the scented airC
With its wave like tidal flowsD
I close my eyes in a dreamy blissE
And call no king my peerF
For is not this the rare sweet timeG
The blossoming time of the yearF
-
I lie on a couch of downy grassH
With delicate blossoms strewnI
And I feel the throb of Nature's heartJ
Responsive to my ownK
Oh the world is fair and God is goodL
That maketh life so dearF
For is not this the rare sweet timeG
The blossoming time of the yearF
-
I can see through the rifts of the apple boughsA
The delicate blue of the skyM
And the changing clouds with their marvellous tintsN
That drift so lazily byM
And strange sweet thoughts sing through my brainO
And Heaven it seemeth nearF
Oh is it not a rare sweet timeG
The blossoming time of the yearF
