Storm Windows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHEIJBKLMBHN

People are putting up storm windows nowA
Or were this morning until the heavy rainB
Drove them indoors So coming home at noonC
I saw storm windows lying on the groundD
Frame full of rain through the water and glassE
I saw the crushed grass how it seemed to streamF
Away in lines like seaweed on the tideG
Or blades of wheat leaning under the windH
The ripple and splash of rain on the blurred glassE
Seemed that it briefly said as I walked byI
Something that I should have liked to say to youJ
Something the dry grass bent under the paneB
Brimful of bouncing water something ofK
A swaying clarity which blindly echoesL
This lonely afternoon of memoriesM
And missed desires while the wintry rainB
Unspeakable the distance in the mindH
Runs on the standing windows and awayN
