My Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GHIIJKL

'He is my friend ' I saidA
'Be patient ' OverheadA
The skies were drear and dimB
And lo the thought of himB
Smited on my heart and thenC
The sun shone out againC
-
'He is my friend ' The wordsD
Brought summer and the birdsD
And all my winter timeE
Thawed into running rhymeE
And rippled into songF
Warm tender brave and strongF
-
And so it sings to dayG
So may it sing alwayH
Though waving grasses growI
Between and lilies blowI
Their trills of perfume clearJ
As laughter to the earK
Let each mute measure endL
With 'Still he is thy friend '-
