Meeting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJK LMHM NOJP HHQH RSKS HATA UKHV HNHWThe snow will dust the roadway | A |
And load the roofs still more | B |
I'll stretch my legs a little | C |
You're there outside the door | B |
- | |
Autumn not winter coat | D |
Hat none galoshes none | E |
You struggle with excitement | F |
Out there all on your own | G |
- | |
Far far into the darkness | H |
Fences and trees withdraw | I |
You stand there on the corner | J |
Under the falling snow | K |
- | |
The water trickles down from | L |
The kerchief that you wear | M |
Into your sleeves while dewdrops | H |
Shine sparkling in your hair | M |
- | |
And now illumined by | N |
A single strand of light | O |
Are features kerchief figure | J |
And coat of autumn cut | P |
- | |
There's wet snow on your lashes | H |
And in your eyes distress | H |
And your external image | Q |
Is all all of apiece | H |
- | |
As if an iron point | R |
With truly consummate art | S |
Dipped into antimony | K |
Had scribed you on my heart | S |
- | |
Those modest humble features | H |
Are in it now to stay | A |
And if the world's cruel hearted | T |
That's merely by the way | A |
- | |
And therefore it is doubled | U |
All this night in snow | K |
To draw frontiers between us | H |
Is more than I can do | V |
- | |
But who are we and whence | H |
If of those years gone by | N |
Scandal alone remains | H |
And we have ceased to be | W |
