Dying. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HDID JKIK

I heard a fly buzz when I diedA
The stillness round my formB
Was like the stillness in the airC
Between the heaves of stormB
-
The eyes beside had wrung them dryD
And breaths were gathering sureE
For that last onset when the kingF
Be witnessed in his powerG
-
I willed my keepsakes signed awayH
What portion of me ID
Could make assignable and thenI
There interposed a flyD
-
With blue uncertain stumbling buzzJ
Between the light and meK
And then the windows failed and thenI
I could not see to seeK
