Her Love-birds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAB ACCCCC CDDCCD CEECCE

When I looked up at my love birdsA
That Sunday afternoonB
There was in their tiny tuneB
A dying fetch like broken wordsA
When I looked up at my love birdsA
That Sunday afternoonB
-
When he too scanned the love birdsA
On entering there that dayC
'Twas as if he had nought to sayC
Of his long journey citywardsC
When he too scanned the love birdsC
On entering there that dayC
-
And billed and billed the love birdsC
As 'twere in fond despairD
At the stress of silence whereD
Had once been tones in tenor thirdsC
And billed and billed the love birdsC
As 'twere in fond despairD
-
O his speech that chilled the love birdsC
And smote like death on meE
As I learnt what was to beE
And knew my life was broke in sherdsC
O his speech that chilled the love birdsC
And smote like death on meE
