In Hospital Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDEE FGFGBHIJ| Under the shadow of a hawthorn brake | A |
| Where bluebells draw the sky down to the wood | B |
| Where 'mid brown leaves the primroses awake | A |
| And hidden violets smell of solitude | C |
| Beneath green leaves bright fluttered by the wing | D |
| Of fleeting beautiful immortal Spring | D |
| I should have said I love you and your eyes | E |
| Have said I too The gods saw otherwise | E |
| - | |
| For this is winter and the London streets | F |
| Are full of soldiers from that far fierce fray | G |
| Where life knows death and where poor glory meets | F |
| Full face with shame and weeps and turns away | G |
| And in the broken trampled foreign wood | B |
| Is horror and the terrible scent of blood | H |
| And love shines tremulous like a drowning star | I |
| Under the shadow of the wings of war | J |
