The Day Of Battle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE FFGH IIJJ

Far I hear the bugle blowA
To call me where I would not goA
And the guns begin the songB
'Soldier fly or stay for long 'C
-
Comrade if to turn and flyD
Made a soldier never dieD
Fly I would for who would notE
'Tis sure no pleasure to be shotE
-
But since the man that runs awayF
Lives to die another dayF
And cowards' funerals when they comeG
Are not wept so well at homeH
-
Therefore though the best is badI
Stand and do the best my ladI
Stand and fight and see your slainJ
And take the bullet in your brainJ
