As One Who Having Wandered All Night Long Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKHKH

AS one who having wandered all night longA
In a perplexed forest comes at lengthB
In the first hours about the matin songA
And when the sun uprises in his strengthB
To the fringed margin of the wood and seesC
Gazing afar before him many a mileD
Of falling country many fields and treesC
And cities and bright streams and far off Ocean's smileD
-
I O Melampus halting stand at gazeE
I liberated look abroad on lifeF
Love and distress and dusty travelling waysE
The steersman's helm the surgeon's helpful knifeF
On the lone ploughman's earth upturning shareG
The revelry of cities and the soundH
Of seas and mountain tops aloof in airG
And of the circling earth the unsupported roundH
-
I looking wonder I intent adoreI
And O Melampus reaching forth my handsJ
In adoration cry aloud and soarI
In spirit high above the supine landsJ
And the low caves of mortal things and fleeK
To the last fields of the universe untrodH
Where is no man nor any earth nor seaK
And the contented soul is all alone with GodH
