The Friendly Greeting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EECC| Oh we have friends in England and we have friends in France | A |
| And should we have to travel there through some strange circumstance | A |
| Undaunted we should sail away and gladly should we go | B |
| Because awaiting us would be somebody that we know | B |
| - | |
| Full many a journey here we make where countless strangers roam | C |
| Yet everywhere our faces turn we find a friend from home | C |
| Oh we have friends in distant towns and friends 'neath foreign skies | D |
| And yet we think of him as lost whene'er a loved one dies | D |
| - | |
| Yet he has merely travelled on as many a friend must do | E |
| Within a distant city fair he waits for me and you | E |
| And when shall come our time to make that journey through the gloam | C |
| To welcome us he will be there the smiling friend from home | C |
