My Hundred Books Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI JKJKLILI

A thousand books my libraryA
ContainsB
And all are primed it seems to meA
With brainsB
Mine are so few I scratch in thoughtC
My headD
For just a hundred of the lotE
I've readD
-
A hundred books but of the bestF
I canG
With wisdom savour and digestF
And scanG
Yet when afar from kin and kithH
In nooksI
Of quietness I'm happy withH
Sweet booksI
-
So as nine hundred at me stareJ
In vainK
My lack I'm wistfully awareJ
Of brainK
Yet as my leave of living endsL
With looksI
Of love I view a hundred friendsL
My booksI
