The Sloe Was Lost In Flower, Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB AAAA

The sloe was lost in flowerA
The April elm was dimB
That was the lover's hourA
The hour for lies and himB
-
If thorns are all the bowerA
If north winds freeze the firA
Why 'tis another's hourA
The hour for truth and herA
