The Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAC D DE FGFG

CHOKED with ill weeds my garden lay a dyingA
Hard was the ground no bud had heart to blowB
Yet shone your smile there with your soft breath sighingA
'Have patience for some day the flowers will grow 'C
-
Some weeds you killed you made a plot and tilled itD
'My plot ' you said 'rich harvest yet shall give '-
With sun warmed seeds of hope your dear hands filled itD
With rain soft tears of pity bade them liveE
-
So weak among the weeds that had withstood youF
One little pure white flower grew by and byG
You could not pluck my flower alas how should youF
You sowed the seed but let the blossom dieG
