Abide And Abide And Better Abide Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEEDFF

I abide and abide and better abideA
And after the old proverb the happy dayB
And ever my lady to me doth sayB
Let me alone and I will provideA
I abide and abide and tarry the tideA
And with abiding speed well ye mayB
Thus do I abide I wot alwayC
Nother obtaining nor yet deniedA
Ay me this long abidingD
Seemeth to me as who sayethE
A prolonging of a dying deathE
Or a refusing of a desir'd thingD
Much were it better for to be plainF
Than to say abide and yet shall not obtainF
