This Lawn, A Carpet All Alive Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCCD EEFGGF HHGGGG

This Lawn a carpet all aliveA
With shadows flung from leaves to striveA
In dance amid a pressB
Of sunshine an apt emblem yieldsC
Of Worldlings reveling in the fieldsC
Of strenuous idlenessD
-
Less quick the stir when tide and breezeE
Encounter and to narrow seasE
Forbid a moment's restF
The medley less when boreal LightsG
Glance to and fro like aery SpritesG
To feats of arms addrestF
-
Yet spite of all this eager strifeH
This ceaseless play the genuine lifeH
That serves the stedfast hoursG
Is in the grass beneath that growsG
Unheeded and the mute reposeG
Of sweetly breathing flowersG
