Among Those Killed In The Dawn Raid Was A Man Aged A Hundred Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADEFGHIGIJWhen the morning was waking over the war | A |
He put on his clothes and stepped out and he died | B |
The locks yawned loose and a blast blew them wide | B |
He dropped where he loved on the burst pavement stone | C |
And the funeral grains of the slaughtered floor | A |
Tell his street on its back he stopped a sun | D |
And the craters of his eyes grew springshots and fire | E |
When all the keys shot from the locks and rang | F |
Dig no more for the chains of his grey haired heart | G |
The heavenly ambulance drawn by a wound | H |
Assembling waits for the spade's ring on the cage | I |
O keep his bones away from the common cart | G |
The morning is flying on the wings of his age | I |
And a hundred storks perch on the sun's right hand | J |
