After Combat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGFHIFJKL| In the sky the howitzers no longer explode | A |
| The cannoneers rest next to their guns | B |
| The infantry pitch tents now | C |
| And the pale moon slowly rises | D |
| On yellow fields in red trousers the French are ablaze | E |
| Ashen pale from death and powder | F |
| Among them German medics squat | G |
| The day becomes grayer its sun redder | F |
| Field kitchens steam Towns are put to the torch | H |
| Broken carts stand at roadsides | I |
| Panting cyclists hot and tanned loiter | F |
| At a scorched wooden fence | J |
| And orderlies are already moving | K |
| From regiment to division | L |
