Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGHIJI KBKBLMLM NONOPHPH QRSRTUTUWHEN we as strangers sought | A |
Their catering care | B |
Veiled smiles bespoke their thought | A |
Of what we were | C |
They warmed as they opined | D |
Us more than friends | E |
That we had all resigned | D |
For love's dear ends | E |
- | |
And that swift sympathy | F |
With living love | G |
Which quicks the world maybe | F |
The spheres above | G |
Made them our ministers | H |
Moved them to say | I |
Ah God that bliss like theirs | J |
Would flush our day | I |
- | |
And we were left alone | K |
As Love's own pair | B |
Yet never the love light shone | K |
Between us there | B |
But that which chilled the breath | L |
Of afternoon | M |
And palsied unto death | L |
The pane fly's tune | M |
- | |
The kiss their zeal foretold | N |
And now deemed come | O |
Came not within his hold | N |
Love lingered numb | O |
Why cast he on our port | P |
A bloom not ours | H |
Why shaped us for his sport | P |
In after hours | H |
- | |
As we seemed we were not | Q |
That day afar | R |
And now we seem not what | S |
We aching are | R |
O severing sea and land | T |
O laws of men | U |
Ere death once let us stand | T |
As we stood then | U |
