Not Ideas About The Thing But The Thing Itself Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEC FGB HIB JAK LMN

At the earliest ending of winterA
In March a scrawny cry from outsideB
Seemed like a sound in his mindC
-
He knew that he heard itD
A bird's cry at daylight or beforeE
In the early March windC
-
The sun was rising at sixF
No longer a battered panache above snowG
It would have been outsideB
-
It was not from the vast ventriloquismH
Of sleep's faded papier macheI
The sun was coming from the outsideB
-
That scrawny cry It wasJ
A chorister whose c preceded the choirA
It was part of the colossal sunK
-
Surrounded by its choral ringsL
Still far away It was likeM
A new knowledge of realityN
