Walnut-leaf Scent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIBJ KLML

In the high leaves of a walnutA
On the very topmost boughsB
A boy that climbed the branching boleC
His cradled limbs would houseD
-
On the airy bed that rocked himE
Long idle hours he'd lieF
Alone with white clouds sailingG
The warm blue of the skyF
-
I remember not what his dreams wereH
But the scent of a leaf's enoughI
To house me higher than those high boughsB
In a youth he knew not ofJ
-
In a light that no day brings nowK
But none can spoil or smutchL
A magic that I felt not thenM
And only now I touchL
