Second-best Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBBGHIBJKKLM

A Celtic spearman forcing the cromlech builder's brownA
daughterB
A blond Saxon a slayer of BritonsC
Building his farm outside the village he'd burned a NorseD
Voyager wielder of oars and a swordE
Thridding the rocks at the fjord sea end hungry as a hawkF
A hungry Gaelic chiefling in UlsterB
Whose blood with the Norseman's rotted in the rain on a heatherB
hillG
These by the world's time were very recentH
Forefathers of yours And you are a maker of verses The pallidI
Pursuit of the world's beauty on paperB
Unless a tall angel comes to require it is a pitiful pastimeJ
If burnished new from God's eyes an angelK
And the ardors of the simple blood showing clearly a littleK
ridiculousL
In this changed world write and be quietM
