I Have Loved Flowers That Fade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFEFDDGG HIHIJJKG

I have loved flowers that fadeA
Within whose magic tentsB
Rich hues have marriage madeA
With sweet unmemoried scentsB
A honeymoon delightC
A joy of love at sightC
That ages in an hourD
My song be like a flowerD
-
I have loved airs that dieE
Before their charm is writF
Along a liquid skyE
Trembling to welcome itF
Notes that with pulse of fireD
Proclaim the spirit's desireD
Then die and are nowhereG
My song be like an airG
-
Die song die like a breathH
And wither as a bloomI
Fear not a flowery deathH
Dread not an airy tombI
Fly with delight fly henceJ
'Twas thine love's tender senseJ
To feast now on thy bierK
Beauty shall shed a tearG
