Shall I See My Boy Again Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKJLBMBNOPO QBRD

Must I die so soon ah far awayA
By blue Ohio's shoreB
A little group waits patientlyC
Till this sad war is o'erD
A little face is often pressedE
Against the window paneF
Oh chaplain only tell me thisG
Shall I see my boy againH
Must I never press close to my heartI
The rings of shining hairJ
Or listen to my bright eyed childK
Whisper his evening prayerJ
Shall I never hear his bounding stepL
Across the cottage floorB
It were not hard to die chaplainM
Could I see my boy once moreB
When morning broke with solemn treadN
On old Potomac's banksO
His comrades laid the soldier downP
Discharged from the ranksO
But many a day o'er western hillsQ
By blue Ohio's shoreB
A little boy will patient waitR
When this sad war is o'erD
