Among The Red Guns Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AB CDEFG HDIJG HDKJLH MGNOG

After waking at dawn one morning when the wind sangA
low among dry leaves in an elmB
-
Among the red gunsC
In the hearts of soldiersD
Running free bloodE
In the long long campaignF
Dreams go onG
-
Among the leather saddlesH
In the heads of soldiersD
Heavy in the wracks and killsI
Of all straight fightingJ
Dreams go onG
-
Among the hot muzzlesH
In the hands of soldiersD
Brought from flesh folds of womenK
Soft amid the blood and cryingJ
In all your hearts and headsL
Among the guns and saddles and muzzlesH
-
DreamsM
Dreams go onG
Out of the dead on their backsN
Broken and no use any moreO
Dreams of the way and the end go onG
