A Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEF GEHIJKI FIILI

I rememberA
The crackle of the palm treesB
Over the mooned white roofs of the townC
The shining townC
And the tender fumbling of the surfD
On the sulphur yellow beachesE
As we sat a little apart in the close pressing nightF
-
The moon hung above us like a golden mangoG
And the moist air clung to our facesE
Warm and fragrant as the open mouth of a childH
And we watched the out flung seaI
Rolling to the purple edge of the worldJ
Yet ever back upon itselfK
As weI
-
Inadequate nightF
And mooned white memoryI
Of a tropic seaI
How softly it comes upL
Like an ungathered lilyI
