I Was Looking A Long While Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFIJHKF

I WAS looking a long while for a clue to the history of the past forA
myself and for these chants and now I have found itB
It is not in those paged fables in the libraries them I neitherC
accept nor rejectD
It is no more in the legends than in all elseE
It is in the present it is this earth to dayF
It is in Democracy the purport and aim of all the pastG
It is the life of one man or one woman to day the average man ofH
to dayF
It is in languages social customs literatures artsI
It is in the broad show of artificial things ships machineryJ
politics creeds modern improvements and the interchange ofH
nationsK
All for the average man of to dayF
