She Of The Dancing Feet Sings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GCGC

And what would I do in heaven prayA
Me with my dancing feetB
And limbs like apple boughs that swayA
When the gusty rain winds beatB
-
And how would I thrive in a perfect placeC
Where dancing would be a sinD
With not a man to love my faceC
Nor an arm to hold me inD
-
The seraphs and the cherubimE
Would be too proud to bendF
To sing the faery tunes that brimE
My heart from end to endF
-
The wistful angels down in hellG
Will smile to see my faceC
And understand because they fellG
From that all perfect placeC
