If I Should Die Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBAAABCAABBAC

If I should die how kind you all would growA
In that strange hour I would not have one foeA
There are no words too beautiful to sayB
Of one who goes forevermore awayB
Across that ebbing tide which has no flowA
With what new lustre my good deeds would glowA
If faults were mine no one would call them soA
Or speak of me in aught but praise that dayB
If I should dieC
Ah friends before my listening ear lies lowA
While I can hear and understand bestowA
That gentle treatment and fond love I prayB
The lustre of whose late though radiant wayB
Would gild my grave with mocking light I knowA
If I should dieC
