A Christmas Ghost Story. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEE FFEE

South of the Line inland from far DurbanA
A mouldering soldier lies your countrymanA
Awry and doubled up are his gray bonesB
And on the breeze his puzzled phantom moansB
Nightly to clear Canopus I would knowC
By whom and when the All Earth gladdening LawD
Of Peace brought in by that Man CrucifiedE
Was ruled to be inept and set asideE
-
And what of logic or of truth appearsF
In tacking 'Anno Domini' to the yearsF
Near twenty hundred livened thus have hiedE
But tarries yet the Cause for which He diedE
