Horse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AA BCDE FGHCCI JK LMNOCIP QRS

What does the horse give youA
That I cannot give youA
-
I watch you when you are aloneB
When you ride into the field behind the dairyC
Your hands buried in the mare'sD
Dark maneE
-
Then I know what lies behind your silenceF
Scorn hatred of me of marriage StillG
You want me to touch you you cry outH
As brides cry but when I look at you I seeC
There are no children in your bodyC
Then what is thereI
-
Nothing I think Only hasteJ
To die before I dieK
-
In a dream I watched you ride the horseL
Over the dry fields and thenM
Dismount you two walked togetherN
In the dark you had no shadowsO
But I felt them coming toward meC
Since at night they go anywhereI
They are their own mastersP
-
Look at me You think I don't understandQ
What is the animalR
If not passage out of this lifeS
