The Beautiful Stranger Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF GG| I cannot know what country owns thee now | A |
| With France's forest lilies on thy brow | A |
| When England knew thee thou wert passing fair | B |
| I never knew a foreign face so rare | B |
| The world of waters rolls and rushes bye | C |
| Nor lets me wander where thy vallies lie | C |
| But surely France must be a pleasant place | D |
| That greets the stranger with so fair a face | D |
| The English maiden blushes down the dance | E |
| But few can equal the fair maid of France | E |
| I saw thee lovely and I wished thee mine | F |
| And the last song I ever wrote is thine | F |
| - | |
| Thy country's honour on thy face attends | G |
| Men may be foes but beauty makes us friends | G |
