Strange Meeting *another Version* Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEEEEFGHEEIIJK| Earth's wheels run oiled with blood Forget we that | A |
| Let us lie down and dig ourselves in thought | B |
| Beauty is yours and you have mastery | C |
| Wisdom is mine and I have mystery | C |
| We two will stay behind and keep our troth | D |
| Let us forego men's minds that are brute's natures | E |
| Let us not sup the blood which some say nurtures | E |
| Be we not swift with swiftness of the tigress | E |
| Let us break ranks from those who trek from progress | E |
| Miss we the march of this retreating world | F |
| Into old citadels that are not walled | G |
| Let us lie out and hold the open truth | H |
| Then when their blood hath clogged the chariot wheels | E |
| We will go up and wash them from deep wells | E |
| What though we sink from men as pitchers falling | I |
| Many shall raise us up to be their filling | I |
| Even from wells we sunk too deep for war | J |
| And filled by brows that bled where no wounds were | K |
