After Communion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAABBCACAB

Why should I call Thee Lord Who art my GodA
Why should I call Thee Friend Who art my LoveB
Or King Who art my very Spouse aboveB
Or call Thy Sceptre on my heart Thy rodA
Lo now Thy banner over me is loveB
All heaven flies open to me at Thy nodA
For Thou hast lit Thy flame in me a clodA
Made me a nest for dwelling of Thy DoveB
What wilt Thou call me in our home aboveB
Who now hast called me friend how will it beC
When Thou for good wine settest forth the bestA
Now Thou dost bid me come and sup with TheeC
Now Thou dost make me lean upon Thy breastA
How will it be with me in time of loveB
