Three Things Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDD BEFFD BDGGD

'O cruel Death give three things back 'A
Sang a bone upon the shoreB
'A child found all a child can lackC
Whether of pleasure or of restD
Upon the abundance of my breast'D
A bone wave whitened and dried in the windD
-
'Three dear things that women know '-
Sang a bhone upon the shoreB
'A man if I but held him soE
When my body was aliveF
Found all the pleasure that life gave'F
A bone wave whitened and dried in the windD
-
'The third thing that I think of yet '-
Sang a bone upon the shoreB
'Is that morning when I metD
Face to face my rightful manG
And did after stretch and yawn'G
A bone wave whitened and dried in the windD
