Molly Gone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCDC AAEFEF AAGHGH AAIJIJ AAKJKJ

No more summer for Molly and meA
There is snow on the treeA
And the blackbirds plump large as the rooks are almostB
And the water is hardC
Where they used to dip bills at the dawn ere her figure was lostD
To these coasts now my prison close barredC
-
No more planting by Molly and meA
Where the beds used to beA
Of sweet william no training the clambering roseE
By the framework of firF
Now bowering the pathway whereon it swings gaily and blowsE
As if calling commendment from herF
-
No more jauntings by Molly and meA
To the town by the seaA
Or along over Whitesheet to Wynyard's green GapG
Catching Montacute CrestH
To the right against Sedgmoor and Corton Hill's far distant capG
And Pilsdon and Lewsdon to westH
-
No more singing by Molly to meA
In the evenings when sheA
Was in mood and in voice and the candles were litI
And past the porch quoinJ
The rays would spring out on the laurels and dumbledores hitI
On the pane as if wishing to joinJ
-
Where then is Molly who's no more with meA
As I stand on this leaA
Thinking thus there's a many flamed star in the airK
That tosses a signJ
That her glance is regarding its face from her home so that thereK
Her eyes may have meetings with mineJ
