A Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH

A friend is one who stands to shareA
Your every touch of grief and careA
He comes by chance but stays by choiceB
Your praises he is quick to voiceB
-
No grievous fault or passing whimC
Can make an enemy of himC
And though your need be great or smallD
His strength is yours throughout it allD
-
No matter where your path may turnE
Your welfare is his chief concernE
No matter what your dream may beF
He prays your triumph soon to seeF
-
There is no wish your tongue can tellG
But what it is your friend's as wellG
The life of him who has a friendH
Is double guarded to the endH
