Why Fades A Dream? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADDAA EAFAAGGAA

Why fades a dreamA
An iridescent rayB
Flecked in between the trystC
Of night and dayB
Why fades a dreamA
Of consciousness the shadeD
Wrought out by lack of light and madeD
Upon life's streamA
Why fades a dreamA
-
That thought may thriveE
So fades the fleshless dreamA
Lest men should learn to trustF
The things that seemA
So fades a dreamA
That living thought may growG
And like a waxing star beam glowG
Upon life's streamA
So fades a dreamA
