The Ultimate Joy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGDD HHGGCCDD I

I have felt the thrill of passion in the poet's mystic bookA
And I've lingered in delight to catch the rhythm of the brookA
I've felt the ecstasy that comes when prima donnas reachB
For upper C and hold it in a long melodious screechB
And yet the charm of all these blissful memories fades awayC
As I think upon the fortune that befell the other dayC
As I bring to recollection with a joyous wistful sighD
That I woke and felt the need of extra covers in JulyD
-
Oh eerie hour of drowsiness 'twas like a fairy spellE
That respite from the terrors we have known alas so wellE
The malevolent mosquito with a limp and idle billF
Hung supinely from the ceiling all exhausted by his chillF
And the early morning sunbeam lost his customary leerG
And brought a gracious greeting and a prophecy of cheerG
A generous affability reached up from earth to skyD
When I woke and felt the need of extra covers in JulyD
-
In every life there comes a time of happiness supremeH
When joy becomes reality and not a glittering dreamH
'Tis less appreciated but it's worth a great deal moreG
Than tides which taken at their flood lead on to fortune's shoreG
How vain is Art's illusion and how potent Nature's swayC
When once in kindly mood she deigns to waft our woes awayC
And the memory will cheer me though all other pleasures flyD
Of how I woke and needed extra covers in JulyD
