The Meeting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CD EF GH IJ KL MN OP HQ PG GP RS| Faces of blank decorum and bald heads | A |
| And the drone of a voice saying what none denies | B |
| - | |
| Words like cobwebs scarcely stirred by a breath | C |
| Loosely hanging gray in an unswept corner | D |
| - | |
| Thoughts belonging to nobody like old coats | E |
| Cheaply borrowed out of a dead man's wardrobe | F |
| - | |
| Over his spectacles looks the Chairman blandly | G |
| Solemn exacting attention nodding approval | H |
| - | |
| I look on the floor and ponder the shaven planks | I |
| Tall trees once tossing aloft in the wild air | J |
| - | |
| I watch the sun that falls upon oaken carvings | K |
| A gentle beam from millions of miles away | L |
| - | |
| Hands and a chisel carved them at night the lips | M |
| Of the carver blew the dust from his work and smiled | N |
| - | |
| The chairs so silent under the ponderous flesh | O |
| Pleasure shaped them out of a brain's designing | P |
| - | |
| The brass of the chandelier the molten metal | H |
| Streamed in the mould conspired to friendly uses | Q |
| - | |
| I feel the spring of the trees and their old rejoicing | P |
| The touch of the warmth of hands that felt for beauty | G |
| - | |
| Near and neighbourly are those shapes about me | G |
| Taking the light sweetly and saying nothing | P |
| - | |
| Why is a voice the only human assertion | R |
| Farther away than the suns of the astronomers | S |
