A Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGHIIHJJKLLKMM NOONPPQCCQ

Since that I may not haveA
Love on this side the graveB
Let me imagine LoveC
Since not mine is the blissD
Of 'claspt hands and lips that kiss 'E
Let me in dreams it proveF
What tho' as the years rollG
No soul shall melt to my soulG
Let me conceive such thingH
Tho' never shall entwineI
Loving arms around mineI
Let dreams caresses bringH
To live it is my doomJ
Lonely as in a tombJ
This cross on me was laidK
My God I know not whyL
Here in the dark I lieL
Lonely yet not afraidK
It has seemed good to TheeM
Still to withhold the keyM
Which opes the way to menN
I am shut in aloneO
I make not any moanO
Thy ways are past my kenN
Yet grant me this to findP
The sweetness in my mindP
Which I must still foregoQ
Great God which art aboveC
Grant me to image LoveC
The bliss without the woeQ
