Frustration Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDF GHGI JKJK LMLM NONO PQPQ

Gazing to gold seraph wingA
With wistful wonder in my eyesB
A blue behinded ape I swingA
Upon the palms of ParadiseC
-
A parakeet of gaudy hueD
Upon a flame tree smugly rocksE
Oh we're a precious pair we twoD
I gibber while the parrot squawksF
-
If I had but your wings I sighG
How ardently would I aspireH
To soar celestially highG
And mingle with yon angel choirI
-
His beady eye is bitter hardJ
Right mockingly he squints at meK
As critic might review a bardJ
His scorn is withering to seeK
-
And as I beat my brest and howlL
Poor fool he shrills my bliss to wreckM
So so I steal behind that fowlL
And grab his claw and screw his neckM
-
And swift his scarlet wings I tearN
Seeking to soar with hope divineO
I frantically beat the airN
And crash to earth and snap my spineO
-
Yet as I lie with shaken breathsP
Of pain I watch my seraph throngQ
Oh I would die a dozen deathsP
Could I but sing one deathless songQ
