Rondeau Of A Conscientious Objector Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BABA ABAB BABA ABAB| The hours have tumbled their leaden monotonous sands | A |
| And piled them up in a dull grey heap in the West | B |
| I carry my patience sullenly through the waste lands | A |
| To morrow will pour them all back the dull hours I detest | B |
| - | |
| I force my cart through the sodden filth that is pressed | B |
| Into ooze and the sombre dirt spouts up at my hands | A |
| As I make my way in twilight now to rest | B |
| The hours have tumbled their leaden monotonous sands | A |
| - | |
| A twisted thorn tree still in the evening stands | A |
| Defending the memory of leaves and the happy round nest | B |
| But mud has flooded the homes of these weary lands | A |
| And piled them up in a dull grey heap in the West | B |
| - | |
| All day has the clank of iron on iron distressed | B |
| The nerve bare place Now a little silence expands | A |
| And a gasp of relief But the soul is still compressed | B |
| I carry my patience sullenly through the waste lands | A |
| - | |
| The hours have ceased to fall and a star commands | A |
| Shadows to cover our stricken manhood and blest | B |
| Sleep to make us forget but he understands | A |
| To morrow will pour them all back the dull hours I detest | B |
