In Memory Of Rupert Brooke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCDIn alien earth across a troubled sea | A |
His body lies that was so fair and young | B |
His mouth is stopped with half his songs unsung | B |
His arm is still that struck to make men free | A |
But let no cloud of lamentation be | A |
Where on a warrior's grave a lyre is hung | B |
We keep the echoes of his golden tongue | B |
We keep the vision of his chivalry | A |
- | |
So Israel's joy the loveliest of kings | C |
Smote now his harp and now the hostile horde | D |
To day the starry roof of Heaven rings | C |
With psalms a soldier made to praise his Lord | D |
And David rests beneath Eternal wings | C |
Song on his lips and in his hand a sword | D |
