Oh, Sweet Content! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHBH

Oh sweet content that turns the labourer's sweatA
To tears of joy and shines the roughest faceB
How often have I sought you high and lowC
And found you still in some lone quiet placeB
-
Here in my room when full of happy dreamsD
With no life heard beyond that merry soundE
Of moths that on my lighted ceiling kissF
Their shadows as they dance and dance aroundE
-
Or in a garden on a summer's nightG
When I have seen the dark and solemn airH
Blink with the blind bats' wings and heaven's bright faceB
Twitch with the stars that shine in thousands thereH
