Rob, Good question. No doubt some metrical geek will soon answer it with an undeserved welter of technical detail. Me, I reckon it is heptameters with a splash of dactyls chucked in -- that's about as far as my technical knowledge goes.
Actually, it should more happily appear on the page in alternate lines of 4 and 3 three thingummies. But that would take it over the sixteen line limit. The original ran to 30 lines plus -- or sixty lines if split 4 and 3. It might have a life of its own as a piece for reading aloud providing the audience can stay awake long enough!
