Death In Battle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABB A CDDE EFF E EFFE AEEA GDDG| Open the gates for me | A |
| Open the gates of the peaceful castle rosy in the West | B |
| In the sweet dim Isle of Apples over the wide sea s breast | B |
| - | |
| Open the gates for me | A |
| - | |
| Sorely pressed have I been | C |
| And driven and hurt beyond bearing this summer day | D |
| But the heat and the pain together suddenly fall away | D |
| All s cool and green | E |
| - | |
| But a moment agone | E |
| Among men cursing in fight and toiling blinded I fought | F |
| But the labour passed on a sudden even as a passing thought | F |
| - | |
| And now alone | E |
| - | |
| Ah to be ever alone | E |
| In flowery valleys among the mountains and silent wastes untrod | F |
| In the dewy upland places in the garden of God | F |
| This would atone | E |
| - | |
| I shall not see | A |
| The brutal crowded faces around me that in their toil have grown | E |
| Into the faces of devils yea even as my own | E |
| When I find thee | A |
| - | |
| O Country of Dreams | G |
| Beyond the tide of the ocean hidden and sunk away | D |
| Out of the sound of battles near to the end of day | D |
| Full of dim woods and streams | G |
