One Word Is Too Often Profaned Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCDC EAEAFGFG

One word is too often profanedA
For me to profane itA
One feeling too falsely disdainedA
For thee to disdain itA
One hope is too like despairB
For prudence to smotherC
And pity from thee more dearD
Than that from anotherC
-
I can give not what men call loveE
But wilt thou accept notA
The worship the heart lifts aboveE
And the heavens reject notA
The desire of the moth for the starF
Of the night for the morrowG
The devotion to something afarF
From the sphere of our sorrowG
