Beggars And Kings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JKLIAMNO

In the eveningA
all the hours that weren't usedB
are emptied outC
and the beggars are waiting to gather them upD
to open themE
to find the sun in each oneF
and teach it its beggar's nameG
and sing to it It is wellH
through the nightI
-
but each of usJ
has his own kingdom of painsK
and has not yet found them allL
and is sailing in search of them day and nightI
infallible undisputed unrestingA
filled with a dumb useM
and its timeN
like a finger in a world without handsO
