The Destroyer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| ACROSS the quiet pastures of my soul | A |
| The invading army marched in splendid might | B |
| My few poor forces fled beyond control | A |
| Scattered defeated hidden in the night | B |
| - | |
| My fields were green their hedges white with May | C |
| With gold of buttercups made bright and fair | D |
| The careless conquerors did not even stay | C |
| To gather one of all the blossoms there | D |
| - | |
| Only when they had passed the fields were brown | E |
| The grass and blossoms trampled in the mud | F |
| The flowering hedges withered and torn down | E |
| And no one richer by a single bud | F |
