Acquaintance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEDEDE| Not we who daily walk the City's street | A |
| Not those who have been cradled in its heart | B |
| Best understand its architectural art | B |
| Or realise its grandeur Oft we meet | A |
| Some stranger who has stayed his passing feet | A |
| And lingered with us for a single hour | C |
| And learned more of cathedral and of tower | C |
| Than we who deem our knowledge quite complete | A |
| - | |
| Not always those we hold most loved and dear | D |
| Not always those who dwell with us know best | E |
| Our greater selves Because they stand so near | D |
| They cannot see the lofty mountain crest | E |
| The gleaming sun kissed height which fair and dear | D |
| Stands forth revealed unto the some time guest | E |
