The Wish Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDF GBGB HIJB

That you might happier be than all the restA
Than I who have been happy loving youB
Of all the innocent even the happiestC
This I beseeched for youB
-
Until I thought of those unending skiesD
Of stagnant cloud or fleckless dull blue airE
Of days and nights delightless no surpriseD
No threat no sting no fearF
-
And of the stirless waters of the mindG
Waveless unfurrowed of no living hueB
With dead eaves dropping slowly in no windG
And nothing flowering newB
-
And then no more I wished you happinessH
But that whatever fell of joy or woeI
I would not dare O Sweet to wish it lessJ
Or wish you less than youB
