Walt Whitman In The Civil War Hospitals Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKALMJNO

Prescient my hands soothingA
their foreheads by my loveB
I earn them in their presenceC
I am wretched as death They smileD
to me of love They cheer meE
and I smile These are stonesF
in the catapulting worldG
they fly bury themselves in fleshH
in a wall in earth in midairI
break against each otherJ
and are without soundK
I sent them catapultingA
They outflew my voiceL
towards vacant spacesM
but I have called them fartherJ
to the stillness beyondN
to death which I have praisedO
