Before Time Altered Them Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJCKL

They were full of sadness at their partingA
That wasn't what they themselves wanted it was circumstancesB
The need to earn a living forced one of themC
to go far away New York or CanadaD
The love they felt wasn't of course what it once had beenE
the attraction between them had gradually diminishedF
the attraction had diminished a great dealG
But to be separated that wasn't what they themselves wantedH
It was circumstances Or maybe FateI
appeared as an artist and parted them nowJ
before their feeling died out completely before Time altered themC
the one seeming to remain for the other always what he wasK
the exquisite young man of twenty fourL
