On Accidentally Meeting A Lady Now No More Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFAA| When last we parted thou wert young and fair | A |
| How beautiful let fond remembrance say | B |
| Alas since then old Time has stol'n away | B |
| Nigh forty years leaving my temples bare | A |
| So hath it perished like a thing of air | A |
| That dream of love and youth we now are gray | B |
| Yet still remembering youth's enchanted way | B |
| Though time has changed my look and blanched my hair | A |
| Though I remember one sad hour with pain | C |
| And never thought long as I yet might live | D |
| And parted long to hear that voice again | E |
| I can a sad but cordial greeting give | F |
| And for thy welfare breathe as warm a prayer | A |
| Lady as when I loved thee young and fair | A |
