A Moss-rose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDDDEFEFDGDG

If the rose of all flowers be the rarestA
That heaven may adore from aboveB
And the fervent moss rose be the fairestC
That sweetens the summer with loveB
Can it be that a fairer than anyD
Should blossom afar from the treeD
Yet one and a symbol of manyD
Shone sudden for eyes that could seeD
In the grime and the gloom of NovemberE
The bliss and the bloom of JulyF
Bade autumn rejoice and rememberE
The balm of the blossoms gone byF
Would you know what moss rose now it may beD
That puts all the rest to the blushG
The flower was the face of a babyD
The moss was a bonnet of plushG
