comments on the rhythm/ meter of this poem

i cant tell you how much time ive wasted trying to work this out...i just dont get it :frown:(((

She lay very still in bed with stubborn eyes
Holding her breath lest she begin to think
I was a shadow upright in the corner
Dancing joyously in the firelight.

She stirred in her sleep and clutched the blanket with her fingers
She was very pale and breathed hard.
When morning shook the long nasturtium creeper in the tawny bowl
I passed joyously out through the window
