Overhead The Tree-tops Meet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCADDDEEFFGG

Overhead the tree tops meetA
Flowers and grass spring 'neath one's feetA
There was nought above me and nought belowB
My childhood had not learned to knowB
For what are the voices of birdsC
Ay and of beasts but words our wordsC
Only so much more sweetA
The knowledge of that with my life begunD
But I had so near made out the sunD
And counted your stars the Seven and OneD
Like the fingers of my handE
Nay I could all but understandE
Wherefore through heaven the white moon rangesF
And just when out of her soft fifty changesF
No unfamiliar face might overlook meG
Suddenly God took meG
