A Blown Rose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GDGD

Lay but a finger onA
That pallid petal sweetB
It trembles gray and wanA
Beneath the passing feetB
-
But soft blown rose we knowC
A merriment of bloomD
A life of sturdy glowC
But no such dear perfumeD
-
As some good bard whose pageE
Of life with beauty's fraughtF
Grays on to ripe old ageE
Sweet mellowed through with thoughtF
-
So when his hoary headG
Is wept into the tombD
The mind which is not deadG
Sheds round it rare perfumeD
