A Meeting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCDC| Queen widowed Mother of a widowed child | A |
| Whose ancient sorrow goeth forth to meet | B |
| Her new born sorrow with parental feet | B |
| And tearful eyes that oft on hers have smiled | A |
| Will not your generous heart be now beguiled | A |
| From its too lonely anguish as You greet | B |
| Her anguish yet more cruel and complete | B |
| And through her woe with woe be reconciled | A |
| Or if this may not be and all the years | C |
| Of love's bereavement be withal too brief | D |
| To bring slow solace to still lengthening grief | D |
| For loss of One whom distance but endears | C |
| Surely to Both will come some sad relief | D |
| Sharing the comfort of commingled tears | C |
