L'envoi (songs Of A Sourdough) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFGHIHI JBKBLGLG MNMNOAOA

You who have lived in the LandA
You who have trusted the trailB
You who are strong to withstandA
You who are swift to assailB
Songs have I sung to beguileC
Vintage of desperate yearsD
Hard as a harlot's smileC
Bitter as unshed tearsE
-
Little of joy or mirthF
Little of ease I singG
Sagas of men of earthF
Humanly sufferingG
Such as you all have doneH
Savagely faring forthI
Sons of the midnight sunH
Argonauts of the NorthI
-
Far in the land God forgotJ
Glimmers the lure of your trailB
Still in your lust are you taughtK
Even to win is to failB
Still must you follow and fightL
Under the vampire wingG
There in the long long nightL
Hoping and vanquishingG
-
Husbandmen of the WildM
Reaping a barren gainN
Scourged by desire reconciledM
Unto disaster and painN
These my songs are for youO
You who are seared with the brandA
God knows I have tried to be trueO
Please God you will understandA
