When I Watch The Living Meet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH

When I watch the living meetA
And the moving pageant fileB
Warm and breathing through the streetA
Where I lodge a little whileB
-
If the heats of hate and lustC
In the house of flesh are strongD
Let me mind the house of dustC
Where my sojourn shall be longD
-
In the nation that is notE
Nothing stands that stood beforeF
There revenges are forgotE
And the hater hates no moreF
-
Lovers lying two and twoG
Ask not whom they sleep besideH
And the bridegroom all night throughG
Never turns him to the brideH
