Love Lies Bleeding Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFEFD

Love that is dead and buried yesterdayA
Out of his grave rose up before my faceB
No recognition in his look no traceB
Of memory in his eyes dust dimmed and greyA
While I remembering found no word to sayA
But felt my quickened heart leap in its placeB
Caught afterglow thrown back from long set daysC
Caught echoes of all music passed awayA
Was this indeed to meet I mind me yetD
In youth we met when hope and love were quickE
We parted with hope dead but love aliveF
I mind me how we parted then heart sickE
Remembering loving hopeless weak to striveF
Was this to meet Not so we have not metD
