She Shall Not Guess Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABACDECDE

Even if I died no sound should tell it herA
Death babbles but the calm of her dear eyesB
In vain would ask no tell tale breath should stirA
The lips still treasuring a thought unwiseB
How vain my life has been in its disguiseB
Left unregarded her least pensionerA
Yielding to all unasking even with sighsB
The dole of hope not Heaven could quite conferA
To day behold me on this page her nameC
Over my own inscribing with no prayerD
Nor daring even to kneel in my distressE
What I have written in this candle's flameC
Shrinks ere 'tis finished and the incensed airD
Bears but betrays it not She shall not guessE
