The Necessitarian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA DADA EFEF AGAG HIHI

I know not in Whose hands are laidA
To empty upon earthB
From unsuspected ambuscadeA
The very Urns of MirthB
-
Who bids the Heavenly Lark ariseC
And cheer our solemn roundA
The Jest beheld with streaming eyesC
And grovellings on the groundA
-
Who joins the flats of Time and ChanceD
Behind the prey preferredA
And thrones on Shrieking CircumstanceD
The Sacredly AbsurdA
-
Till Laughter voiceless through excessE
Waves mute appeal and soreF
Above the midriff's deep distressE
For breath to laugh once moreF
-
No creed hath dared to hail Him LordA
No raptured choirs proclaimG
And Nature's strenuous OverwordA
Hath nowhere breathed His NameG
-
Yet it must be on wayside japeH
The selfsame Power bestowsI
The selfsame power as went to shapeH
His Planet or His RoseI
