How Do I Love Thee? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEFGFG

How do I love thee Let me count the waysA
I love thee to the depth and breadth and heightB
My soul can reach when feeling out of sightB
For the ends of Being and ideal GraceC
I love thee to the level of every day'sA
Most quiet need by sun and candlelightB
I love thee freely as men strive for RightB
I love thee purely as they turn from PraiseA
I love with a passion put to useD
In my old griefs and with my childhood's faithE
I love thee with a love I seemed to loseF
With my lost saints I love thee with the breathG
Smiles tears of all my life and if God chooseF
I shall but love thee better after deathG
