Song Of A Hyperborean Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD CECEF GHGHF HIHIF HJHJCD

I come from a land in the sun bright deepA
Where golden gardens growB
Where the winds of the north be calmed in sleepA
Their conch shells never blowB
Haste to that holy Isle with meC
Haste hasteD
-
So near the track of the stars are weC
That oft on night's pale beamsE
The distant sounds of their harmonyC
Come to our ear like dreamsE
Then haste to that holy Isle with me etcF
-
The Moon too brings her world so nighG
That when the night seer looksH
To that shadowless orb in a vernal skyG
He can number its hills and brooksH
Then haste etcF
-
To the Sun god all our hearts and lyresH
By day by night belongI
And the breath we draw from his living firesH
We give him back in songI
Then haste etcF
-
From us descends the maid who bringsH
To Delos gifts divineJ
And our wild bees lend their rainbow wingsH
To glitter on Delphi's shrineJ
Then haste to that holy Isle with meC
Haste hasteD
