An Old-fashioned Welcome Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBC AAB| There's nothing cheers a fellow up just like a hearty greeting | A |
| A handclasp and an honest smile that flash the joy of meeting | A |
| And when at friendly doors you ring somehow it seems to free you | B |
| From all life's doubts to hear them say 'Come in We're glad to | B |
| see you ' | C |
| - | |
| At first the portal slips ajar in answer to your ringing | A |
| And then your eyes meet friendly eyes and wide the door goes flinging | A |
| And something seems to stir the soul however troubled be you | B |
| If but the cheery host exclaims 'Come in We're glad to see you ' | - |
