We Met As Strangers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EFEFEF| We met as strangers on life's lonely way | A |
| And yet it seemed we knew each other well | B |
| There was no end to what thou hadst to say | A |
| Or to the thousand things I found to tell | B |
| My heart long silent at thy voice that day | A |
| Chimed in my breast like to a silver bell | B |
| - | |
| How much we spoke and yet still left untold | C |
| Some secret half revealed within our eyes | D |
| Didst thou not love me once in ages old | C |
| Had I not called thee with importunate cries | D |
| And like a child left sobbing in the cold | C |
| Listened to catch from far thy fond replies | D |
| - | |
| We met as strangers and as such we part | E |
| Yet all my life seems leaving me with thine | F |
| Ah to be clasped once only heart to heart | E |
| If only once to feel that thou wert mine | F |
| These lips are locked and yet I know thou art | E |
| That all in all for which my soul did pine | F |
