All Sung Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HDHD

What shall I sing when all is sungA
And every tale is toldB
And in the world is nothing youngA
That was not long since oldB
-
Why should I fret unwilling earsC
With old things sung anewD
While voices from the old dead yearsC
Still go on singing tooD
-
A dead man singing of his maidE
Makes all my rhymes in vainF
Yet his poor lips must fade and fadeE
And mine shall kiss againG
-
Why should I strive through weary moonsH
To make my music trueD
Only the dead men knew the tunesH
The live world dances toD
