Confession Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGI

A sleuth like Pinkerton or BurnsA
Is told that there has been a crimeB
He runs down clues and leads and learnsA
Who did the deed in course of timeB
It's just the other way with meC
The first thing I am sure of isD
The criminal's identityC
And then I learn what crime was hisD
-
When Son comes up with hanging headE
And smiles a certain kind of smileF
When he's affectionate insteadE
Of playful when he stalls awhileF
And starts to speak and stops againG
Or squirming like a mouse that's caughtH
Asserts I am a GOOD boy thenG
I look to see what harm's been wroughtI
