When You See Millions Of The Mouthless Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABAACDCDC| When you see millions of the mouthless dead | A |
| Across your dreams in pale battalions go | B |
| Say not soft things as other men have said | A |
| That you'll remember For you need not so | B |
| Give them not praise For deaf how should they know | B |
| It is not curses heaped on each gashed head | A |
| Nor tears Their blind eyes see not your tears flow | B |
| Nor honour It is easy to be dead | A |
| Say only this They are dead The add thereto | A |
| Yet many a better one has died before | C |
| Then scanning all the o'ercrowded mass should you | D |
| Perceive one face that you loved heretofore | C |
| It is a spook None wears the face you knew | D |
| Great death has made all his for evermore | C |
