When I Get Up To Light The Fire, Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEBECBFB

When I get up to light the fireA
And dress with all the speed I mayB
By candle light I dread the hoursC
That go to make a single dayB
But then I leave my room and seeD
How brightly clearly darkness shinesE
When stars ten thousand miles awayB
Are caught in our verandah vinesE
And I am almost glad that firesC
Have to be lit before the dayB
Comes up between the trees and drivesF
The strange familiar dark awayB
