A Friend To Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD DEDEFDFD CGCGHDHD

Poor Dick nah sleeps quietly his labor is doneA
Deeath shut off his steam tother dayB
His engine long active has made its last runA
An his boiler nah falls to decayB
Maybe he'd his faults but he'd vartues as wellC
An tho' dearly he loved a gooid spreeD
If he did onny harm it wor done to hisselC
He wor allus a gooid friend to meD
-
His heart it wor tender his purse it wor freeD
To a friend or a stranger i' needE
An noa matter ha humble or poor they might beD
At his booard they wor welcome to feedE
Wi' his pipe an his glass bi his foirside he'd sitF
Yet some fowk wi' him couldn't agreeD
An tho' monny's the time 'at we've differed a bitF
He wor allus a gooid friend to meD
-
His word wor his bond for he hated a lieC
An sickophants doubly despisedG
He wor ne'er know to cringe to a rich fly bi skyC
It wor worth an net wealth 'at he prizedG
Aw shall ne'er meet another soa honest an trueH
As aw write ther's a tear i' mi eeD
Nah he's gooan to his rest an aw'll give him his dueH
He wor allus a gooid friend to meD
