How Doth The Little Busy Bee Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDF GHGH CICI

How doth the little busy beeA
Improve each shining hourB
And gather honey all the dayC
From every opening flowerB
-
How skilfully she builds her cellD
How neat she spreads the waxE
And labors hard to store it wellD
With the sweet food she makesF
-
In works of labor or of skillG
I would be busy tooH
For Satan finds some mischief stillG
For idle hands to doH
-
In books or work or healthful playC
Let my first years be passedI
That I may give for every dayC
Some good account at lastI
