Nothing Is Really Mine Except Krishna. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGCHDIJAK LAMNKAAO PQRBSDAE

Nothing is really mine except KrishnaA
O my parents I have searched the worldB
And found nothing worthy of loveC
Hence I am a stranger amidst my kinfolkD
And an exile from their companyE
Since I seek the companionship of holy menF
There alone do I feel happyE
In the world I only weepG
I planted the creeper of loveC
And silently watered it with my tearsH
Now it has grown and overspread my dwellingD
You offered me a cup of poisonI
Which I drank with joyJ
Mira is absorbed in contemplation of KrishnaA
She is with God and all is wellK

O my King my father nothing delights me moreL
Than singing the praises of KrishnaA
If thou art wrathM
then keep thy kingdom and thy palaceN
For if God is angry where can I dwellK
Thou didst send me a cup of poison and a black cobraA
Yet in all I saw only KrishnaA
Mira is drunk with love and is wedded to the LordO

-
The heart of Mira is entangledP
In the beauty of the feet of her GuruQ
Nothing else causes her delightR
He enabled her to be happy in the drama of the worldB
The Knowledge he gave her dried upS
The ocean of being and becomingD
Mira says My whole world is Shri KrishnaA
Now that my gaze is turned inward I see it clearlyE
