In A Cathedral City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABA BCB DED EFE FGFG H

These people have not heard your nameA
No loungers in this placid placeB
Have helped to bruit your beauty's fameA
-
The grey Cathedral towards whose faceB
Bend eyes untold has met not yoursC
Your shade has never swept its baseB
-
Your form has never darked its doorsD
Nor have your faultless feet once thrownE
A pensive pit pat on its floorsD
-
Along the street to maids well knownE
Blithe lovers hum their tender airsF
But in your praise voice not a toneE
-
Since nought bespeaks you here or bearsF
As I your imprint through and throughG
Here might I rest till my heart sharesF
The spot's unconsciousness of youG
-
SALISBURYH
