Joys Of Youth. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBABCDCCEFGFG

How pleasing simplest recollections seemA
Now summer comes it warms me to look backB
On the sweet happiness of youth's wild trackB
Varied and fleeting as a summer dreamA
Here have I paus'd upon the sweeping rackB
That specks like wool flocks through the purple skyC
Here have I careless stooped down to catchD
The meadow flower that entertain'd my eyeC
And as the butterfly went whirring byC
How anxious for its settling did I watchE
And oft long purples on the water's brinkF
Have tempted me to wade in spite of fateG
To pluck the flowers Oh to look back and thinkF
What pleasing pains such simple joys createG
