Is There A Bitter Pang For Love Removed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEED FGFGHH IJKLKEEK

Is there a bitter pang for love removedA
O God The dead love doth not cost more tearsB
Than the alive the loving the belovedC
Not yet not yet beyond all hopes and fearsD
Would I were laidE
Under the shadeE
Of the calm grave and the long grass of yearsD
-
That love might die with sorrow I am sorrowF
And she that loves me tenderest doth pressG
Most poison from my cruel lips and borrowF
Only new anguish from the old caressG
Oh this world's griefH
Hath no reliefH
-
In being wrung from a great happinessI
Would I had never filled thine eyes with loveJ
For love is only tears would I had neverK
Breathed such a curse like blessing as we proveL
Now if 'Farewell' could bless thee I would severK
Would I were laidE
Under the shadeE
Of the cold tomb and the long grass foreverK
