Futility Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACAAA DEFGHIH

Move him into the sunA
Gently its touch awoke him onceB
At home whispering of fields unsownA
Always it woke him even in FranceC
Until this morning and this snowA
If anything might rouse him nowA
The kind old sun will knowA
-
Think how it wakes the seedsD
Woke once the clays of a cold starE
Are limbs so dear achieved are sidesF
Full nerved still warm too hard to stirG
Was it for this the clay grew tallH
O what made fatuous sunbeams toilI
To break earth's sleep at allH
