I Have Been Tricked By Flying Too Close Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLGGG

I have been tricked by flying too closeA
to what I thought I lovedB
Now the candleflame is out the wine spilledC
and the lovers have withdrawnD
somewhere beyond my squintingE
The amount I thought I'd won I've lostF
My prayers becomes bitter and all about blindnessG
How wonderful it was to be for a whileH
with those who surrenderI
Others only turn their faces on wayJ
then another like pigeon in flightK
I have known pigeons who fly in a nowhereL
and birds that eat grainlessnessG
and tailor who sew beautiful clothesG
by tearing them to piecesG
