A Year's Casualties Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF| Slain as they lay by the secret slow | A |
| Pitiless hand of an unseen foe | A |
| Two score thousand old soldiers have crossed | B |
| The river to join the loved and lost | B |
| In the space of a year their spirits fled | C |
| Silent and white to the camp of the dead | C |
| - | |
| One after one they fall asleep | D |
| And the pension agents awake to weep | D |
| And orphaned statesmen are loud in their wail | E |
| As the souls flit by on the evening gale | E |
| O Father of Battles pray give us release | F |
| From the horrors of peace the horrors of peace | F |
