The Stranger Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HEHE IBAB| Never am I so alone | A |
| As when I walk among the crowd | B |
| Blurred masks of stern or grinning stone | A |
| Unmeaning eyes and voices loud | B |
| - | |
| Gaze dares not encounter gaze | C |
| Humbled I turn my head aside | D |
| When suddenly there is a face | E |
| Pale subdued and grievous eyed | D |
| - | |
| Ah I know that visage meek | F |
| Those trembling lips the eyes that shine | G |
| But turn from that which they would seek | F |
| With an air piteous divine | G |
| - | |
| There is not a line or scar | H |
| Seal of a sorrow or disgrace | E |
| But I know like sigils are | H |
| Burned in my heart and on my face | E |
| - | |
| Speak O speak Thou art the one | I |
| But thou hast passed with sad head bowed | B |
| And never am I so alone | A |
| As when I walk among the crowd | B |
