Old Dutch Love Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDEFFE GHIIHABEEB

I am not rich and yet my wealthA
Surpasseth human measureB
My store untoldC
Is not of goldC
Nor any sordid treasureB
Let this one hoard his earthly pelfD
Another court ambitionE
Not for a throneF
Would I disownF
My poor and proud conditionE
-
The worldly gain achieved to dayG
To morrow may be flyingH
The gifts of kingsI
Are fleeting thingsI
The gifts of love undyingH
In her I love is all my wealthA
For her my sole endeavorB
No heart I weenE
Hath fairer queenE
No liege such homage everB
