A Poison Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE FFGG HHII

I was angry with my friendA
I told my wrath my wrath did endA
I was angry with my foeB
I told it not my wrath did growB
-
And I waterd it in fearsC
Night amp morning with my tearsD
And I sunned it with smilesE
And with soft deceitful wilesE
-
And it grew both day and nightF
Till it bore an apple brightF
And my foe beheld it shineG
And he knew that it was mineG
-
And into my garden stoleH
When the night had veiled the poleH
In the morning glad I seeI
My foe outstretchd beneath the treeI
