Her Dilemma Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GBGB

THE two were silent in a sunless churchA
Whose mildewed walls uneven paving stonesB
And wasted carvings passed antique researchA
And nothing broke the clock's dull monotonesB
-
Leaning against a wormy poppy headC
So wan and worn that he could scarcely standD
For he was soon to die he softly saidC
Tell me you love me holding hard her handD
-
She would have given a world to breathe yes trulyE
So much his life seemed hanging on her mindF
And hence she lied her heart persuaded throughlyE
'Twas worth her soul to be a moment kindF
-
But the sad need thereof his nearing deathG
So mocked humanity that she shamed to prizeB
A world conditioned thus or care for breathG
Where Nature such dilemmas could deviseB
