An Allegory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEFAGHIJKL| The fight was over and the battle won | A |
| A soldier who beneath his chieftain s eye | B |
| Had done a might deed and done it well | C |
| And done it as the world will have it done | A |
| A stab a curse some quick play of the butt | D |
| Two skulls cracked crosswise but the colours saved | E |
| Proud of his wounds proud of the promised cross | F |
| Turned to his rear rank man who on his gun | A |
| Leant heavily apart Ho friend he called | G |
| You did not fight then were you left behind | H |
| I saw you not The other turned and showed | I |
| A gapping red lipped wound upon his breast | J |
| Ah said he sadly I was in the smoke | K |
| Threw up his arms shivered and fell and died | L |
