The Meeting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GAHA IJIJ| The old coach road through a common of furze | A |
| With knolls of pine ran white | B |
| Berries of autumn with thistles and burrs | A |
| And spider threads droop'd in the light | B |
| - | |
| The light in a thin blue veil peered sick | C |
| The sheep grazed close and still | D |
| The smoke of a farm by a yellow rick | C |
| Curled lazily under a hill | D |
| - | |
| No fly shook the round of the silver net | E |
| No insect the swift bird chased | F |
| Only two travellers moved and met | E |
| Across that hazy waste | F |
| - | |
| One was a girl with a babe that throve | G |
| Her ruin and her bliss | A |
| One was a youth with a lawless love | H |
| Who clasped it the more for this | A |
| - | |
| The girl for her babe hummed prayerful speech | I |
| The youth for his love did pray | J |
| Each cast a wistful look on each | I |
| And either went their way | J |
