These Are The Clouds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABABAB

These are the clouds about the fallen sunA
The majesty that shuts his burning eyeB
The weak lay hand on what the strong has doneA
Till that be tumbled that was lifted highB
And discord follow upon unisonA
And all things at one common level lieB
And therefore friend if your great race were runA
And these things came So much the more therebyB
Have you made greatness your companionA
Although it be for children that you sighB
These are the clouds about the fallen sunA
The majesty that shuts his burning eyeB
