Drafted Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB AACC DDEE FFGG| The biggest moment in our lives was that when first he cried | A |
| From that day unto this for him we've struggled side by side | A |
| We can recount his daily deeds and backwards we can look | B |
| And proudly live again the time when first a step he took | B |
| - | |
| I see him trudging off to school his mother at his side | A |
| And when she left him there alone she hurried home and cried | A |
| And then the sturdy chap of eight that was I proudly see | C |
| Who packed a little grip and took a fishing trip with me | C |
| - | |
| Among the lists of boys to go his name has now appeared | D |
| To us has come the sacrifice that mothers all have feared | D |
| And though we dread the parting hour when he shall march away | E |
| We love him and the Flag too much to ask of him to stay | E |
| - | |
| His baby ways shall march with him and every joy we've had | F |
| Somewhere in France some day shall be a little brown eyed lad | F |
| A toddler and a child at school the chum that once I knew | G |
| Shall wear our country's uniform for they've been drafted too | G |
