The Philosopher Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB ADED FEGE CHIH

And what are you that missing youA
I should be kept awakeB
As many nights as there are daysC
With weeping for your sakeB
-
And what are you that missing youA
As many days as crawlD
I should be listening to the windE
And looking at the wallD
-
I know a man that's a braver manF
And twenty men as kindE
And what are you that you should beG
The one man in my mindE
-
Yet women's ways are witless waysC
As any sage will tellH
And what am I that I should loveI
So wisely and so wellH
