Guns Of Peace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDAEFFEGH| GHOSTS of dead soldiers in the battle slain | A |
| Ghosts of dead heroes dying nobler far | B |
| In the long patience of inglorious war | C |
| Of famine cold heat pestilence and pain | A |
| All ye whose loss makes our victorious gain | A |
| This quiet night as sounds the cannon's tongue | D |
| Do ye look down the trembling stars among | D |
| Viewing our peace and war with like disdain | A |
| Or wiser grown since reaching those new spheres | E |
| Smile ye on those poor bones ye sowed as seed | F |
| For this our harvest nor regret the deed | F |
| Yet lift one cry with us to Heavenly ears | E |
| 'Strike with Thy bolt the next red flag unfurled | G |
| And make all wars to cease throughout the world ' | H |
