Weary In Well-doing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAAA CDCDC EFEFE

I would have gone God bade me stayA
I would have worked God bade me restB
He broke my will from day to dayA
He read my yearnings unexpressedA
And said them nayA
-
Now I would stay God bids me goC
Now I would rest God bids me workD
He breaks my heart tossed to and froC
My soul is wrung with doubts that lurkD
And vex it soC
-
I go Lord where Thou sendest meE
Day after day I plod and moilF
But Christ my God when will it beE
That I may let alone my toilF
And rest with TheeE
