Dorcas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIJI KLML NONO

If I might guess then guess I wouldA
That mid the gathered folkB
This gentle Dorcas one day stoodA
And heard when Jesus spokeB
-
She saw the woven seamless coatC
Half envious for his sakeD
Oh happy hands she said that wroughtE
The honoured thing to makeD
-
Her eyes with longing tears grow dimF
She never can come nighG
To work one service poor for himF
For whom she glad would dieG
-
But hark he speaks Oh precious wordH
And she has heard indeedI
When did we see thee naked LordJ
And clothed thee in thy needI
-
The King shall answer InasmuchK
As to my brethren yeL
Did it even to the least of suchM
Ye did it unto meL
-
Home home she went and plied the loomN
And Jesus' poor arrayedO
She died they wept about the roomN
And showed the coats she madeO
