Tears In Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDACBD

All night the cocks crew under a moon like dayA
And I in the cage of sleep on a stranger's breastB
Shed tears like a task not to be put awayA
In the false light false grief in my happy bedC
A labor of tears set against joy's undoingD
I would not wake at your word I had tears to sayA
I clung to the bars of the dream and they were saidC
And pain's derisive hand had given me restB
From the night giving off flames and the dark renewingD
