-The rhyme scheme goes ABAB
-The poem starts out describing how the speaker, after experiencing things like love "as sweet as I could bear" and "strong sweets", chose the lesser desires, more average in comparison, like air and rose petals. Note that air and rose petals are not as intrusive and intense as the love and sweets he chose against.
-After stating to the reader that he chose lesser desires (and because they were lesser, they hurt less when lost) instead of strong ones that lead to tears and pain, he admits that he regrets that lifestyle of taking the easy way out- looking back, he "craves the stain" of "the aftermark" and "too much love."
-Toward the end he relates this mistake to leaning against the dirty ground- because he chose the easy way out of things, now when he leans on the earth it isn't enough. Now he yearns to feel a rough, ragged ground instead of the insufficient ground he chose to live on.
-Lots of alliteration, such as "love at the lips", "strong sweets", "seemed strong", "bitter bark", and "stiff and sore and scarred."
